A tall, slender handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and a lively, slightly bouncy baseline. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle pressure swelling at curves and terminals, and many letters finish with tapered, flicked ends. Capitals are simplified and upright-leaning with narrow proportions, while lowercase forms use smooth loops and long ascenders/descenders that give the line a wiry vertical rhythm. Spacing is open and the joins are often suggested rather than tightly connected, keeping the texture light and quick.
Works well for short-to-medium display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is needed—invites, cards, boutique packaging, café/menu accents, and social media graphics. It can also suit pull quotes or headings when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like quick neat handwriting on a note or menu board. Its narrow, tall rhythm and flicked terminals add a playful energy, reading as approachable rather than formal or luxurious.
Designed to mimic quick, confident cursive writing with a light brush-pen touch, prioritizing personality and rhythm over strict uniformity. The narrow, tall construction helps it fit longer words into compact spaces while keeping an energetic, handwritten look.
Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple forms and occasional curl-like terminals that keep them consistent with the letterforms. The stroke endings and slight irregularities feel intentional, preserving a natural, human cadence without looking messy.
