A lively, right-slanted handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and softly tapering terminals. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation and a quick, fluid rhythm, with tall ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies. Letterforms are narrow and slightly irregular in a natural way, with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional connections; capitals are simplified and upright-leaning with long, sweeping curves. Counters are small and ovals are tight, giving the overall texture a dense, energetic line.
Works well for short, expressive copy such as brand marks, packaging accents, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It’s particularly effective for headers, pull quotes, and personal-style labels where a handwritten voice is desired, and should be paired with a simpler companion face for longer reading.
The tone is informal and personable, like fast, confident note-taking or a casual signature. Its loops and springy movement read upbeat and approachable, with a lightly expressive flair that feels handmade rather than polished.
Designed to capture the immediacy of a quick, brushed cursive hand while staying consistent enough for repeatable display use. The narrow proportions and energetic slant prioritize a dynamic, signature-like appearance over formal calligraphic precision.
The digit set follows the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and curved strokes that match the script’s momentum. Some glyphs show distinct hook-like starts and extended finishing strokes, which can create expressive word silhouettes and a slightly varied baseline rhythm in longer text.
