A lively, hand-drawn cursive with a rightward slant and fluid, calligraphic motion. Strokes swing between hairline joins and fuller downstrokes, creating a crisp contrast that reads clearly at display sizes. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders/descenders and frequent looped entries and exits; connections are implied by the script rhythm even when some capitals stand more independently. Terminals are rounded and slightly tapered, and the overall texture is airy, with generous internal space and a gentle bounce along the baseline.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where personality matters: invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, social posts, and lifestyle branding. It can also work for pull quotes or labels, while extended small-size body copy may lose clarity due to the fine joins and tight proportions.
The tone is personable and upbeat, like neat marker or brush-pen handwriting. It feels informal and approachable, with a slightly romantic, whimsical energy that suits friendly messaging and expressive headlines.
Designed to emulate confident everyday cursive with a polished, high-contrast pen feel—balancing decorative loops with enough consistency to remain readable in prominent applications.
Capitals are showy and gestural (notably the looping swashes in forms like A, B, S, and W), while the lowercase stays simpler and quick, keeping the reading flow smooth. Numerals are similarly handwritten and slightly irregular in width, matching the organic cadence of the letters.
