A lively handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes look brush-pen inspired, with smooth curves and occasional tapering at starts and terminals, creating a lightly textured, drawn-by-hand feel. Letterforms mix rounded loops with narrow counters; ascenders are prominent and lowercase spacing varies slightly, adding natural irregularity while keeping overall consistency. The numerals follow the same narrow, upright-leaning construction with simple, legible shapes.
Well suited to branding accents, product packaging, and social media graphics where a personable handwritten voice is desired. It also works nicely for short quotes, headers, invitations, and craft-oriented materials, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick, confident handwriting on a note or label. Its looping forms and buoyant slant give it an upbeat, personable character that feels conversational rather than formal.
Designed to emulate quick brush handwriting with a clean, contemporary polish—balancing charm and readability while preserving the natural variation and momentum of a hand-drawn script.
Capitals are simple and gestural, pairing well with the lowercase without becoming overly decorative. The script maintains readability in short phrases while preserving a spontaneous, hand-rendered cadence.
