A handwritten script with slim, high-contrast strokes and a brisk, upright stance. Letterforms are built from rounded bowls and tall, narrow stems with tapered terminals that mimic a marker or brush pen lift. Connections are occasional rather than fully continuous, giving the rhythm a lightly cursive feel while keeping individual characters distinct. Ascenders are prominent, counters are open, and the overall texture reads airy with lively stroke modulation.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where personality is the goal: headlines, invitations, greeting cards, packaging, and quote graphics. It can work for subheads or pull quotes, but the narrow proportions and lively modulation favor larger sizes and generous spacing for clarity.
The tone is upbeat and personable, with a slightly quirky, storybook charm. Its looping forms and springy proportions feel informal and inviting, leaning more toward expressive handwriting than polished calligraphy.
Designed to capture an expressive, hand-lettered script look with simple, readable shapes and just enough looping detail to feel crafted. The intent appears to balance casual warmth with a tidy, consistent rhythm that holds together across longer lines of text.
Capitals are simplified and monoline-like in structure compared to the more loopy lowercase, creating a mixed-case color that feels hand-set. Numerals are clean and rounded with noticeable stroke taper, matching the handwritten personality without becoming overly decorative.
