A lively handwritten script with a right-leaning, brush-pen feel and gently rounded terminals. Strokes show subtle pressure variation, creating a soft contrast between main stems and connecting strokes, and the letterforms keep a narrow, upright footprint despite the slant. Capitals are tall and gestural with simple looped and hooked entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms are compact with short bodies and prominent ascenders/descenders that add vertical rhythm. Overall spacing and widths vary slightly from letter to letter, reinforcing a natural, drawn-once character.
Works best for short to medium text where a human, conversational voice is desired—headlines, product packaging, greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, and social posts. The compact lowercase and narrow proportions help fit longer words in limited space, while the distinctive capitals provide emphasis for titles and initials.
The tone is relaxed and personable, like quick marker lettering used for notes, packaging, or a casual headline. Its springy rhythm and looping capitals add a cheerful, approachable energy without feeling overly formal or calligraphic.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of everyday cursive writing in a cleaner, more consistent digital form, balancing legibility with expressive stroke movement. The narrow, slanted construction and looped capitals suggest an aim toward energetic display use rather than long-form reading.
Connections are implied rather than rigidly continuous, so words read as a flowing hand while keeping clear letter separation in places. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with open shapes and soft curves, matching the alphabet’s informal cadence.
