A lively handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a quick, brush-pen rhythm. Strokes stay mostly monoline with subtle pressure swell at curves and terminals, and many letters show soft, rounded ends rather than sharp cuts. Uppercase forms are simplified and airy, while lowercase is more compact with a very small x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, bouncy texture. Connections are suggested by entry/exit strokes, but spacing is loose enough that words can read as semi-joined depending on letter pairs.
Well suited to short-to-medium headlines where an informal human voice is desired, such as branding accents, packaging callouts, social posts, and quote graphics. It can also work for posters or invitations when paired with a more neutral text face for supporting copy.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like neat marker lettering on a note or café sign. Its springy slant and looping movement feel energetic and upbeat, with a relaxed, conversational warmth rather than formality.
Designed to capture the look of natural, fast cursive writing with a clean, legible structure. The narrow, upright-leaning proportions and tall extenders appear intended to maximize elegance and energy while keeping the handwriting feel consistent across letters and numerals.
Curves and loops are a defining motif (notably in letters like g, y, and w), giving the font a flowing cadence even when characters don’t fully connect. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, open forms and a light, quick finish that keeps the set visually consistent.
