A lively, handwritten script with a forward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes show crisp thick–thin modulation, with tapered entries and exits that create a rhythmic, calligraphic texture. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, and many characters include looped joins and open counters that keep the page feeling light. Uppercase forms are simplified and upright-leaning, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase while maintaining an informal, drawn-by-hand consistency.
Best suited to short to medium display copy where the handwritten character can lead—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, social media graphics, and lifestyle branding. It also works well for headers, pull quotes, and product labels where a personable, crafted tone is desired.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a buoyant, personal cadence reminiscent of quick lettering for notes, cards, and casual signage. Its looping terminals and energetic contrast give it a slightly whimsical, celebratory feel without becoming overly formal.
Designed to mimic fast, confident brush lettering with a clean, modern simplicity. The narrow, tall proportions and looping connections aim to deliver an expressive script that stays readable in display sizes while preserving a distinctly handmade personality.
Spacing appears intentionally uneven in a natural handwriting way, contributing to an organic baseline rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same brushy modulation, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive in short phrases and display lines.
