A slim, hand-drawn cursive with tall proportions and a lively, slightly bouncing rhythm. Strokes feel pen-like, with clean curves and occasional tapered joins that create a crisp, calligraphic contrast. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning in their construction while still slanting forward overall, and spacing stays tight, giving words a continuous, flowing texture. Counters are narrow and open, and ascenders/descenders are long, helping the alphabet read as elegant and quick rather than formal.
Works best for short to medium text where a handwritten personality is desired—headlines, pull quotes, packaging accents, invitations, and greeting card copy. It also fits brand marks or social posts that need an informal, crafted feel, especially when paired with a quiet sans or serif for supporting text.
The tone is personable and spontaneous, like neat handwriting done with a fine pen. It conveys lighthearted confidence—friendly and expressive—without becoming overly ornate or decorative. The overall impression is contemporary and approachable, suited to informal, human-forward messaging.
Designed to emulate quick, elegant pen handwriting with a consistent cursive flow, prioritizing expressiveness and a refined handwritten texture over rigid typographic regularity. The tall proportions and looping forms aim to create a distinctive signature-like presence in display settings.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and gestural, standing out as headline shapes with simple looped structures, while lowercase maintains a consistent cursive motion. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with slender forms and smooth curves that blend naturally alongside text.
