A lively, right-leaning handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and visibly tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with looping ascenders/descenders and occasional entry/exit swashes that give the line a continuous, drawn-in-one-go rhythm. Strokes show noticeable modulation—heavier on downstrokes and lighter on turns—with rounded terminals and softly irregular curves that keep it human and informal. Uppercase forms are simplified and airy, while lowercase maintains a compact body with long extenders and open counters for an easy, flowing texture in text.
Well suited to short to medium headlines where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—brand marks, product packaging callouts, café menus, greeting cards, and invitation accents. It also works for social media graphics and quotes when set with generous leading to let ascenders, descenders, and swashes breathe.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like neat casual handwriting used on cards, labels, and social posts. Its bouncy rhythm and soft curves read as approachable and upbeat rather than formal or editorial.
Designed to emulate quick, confident pen lettering with a light brush texture—prioritizing charm and motion over strict uniformity. The narrow, tall proportions and flowing connections aim to create a recognizable handwritten signature feel in display settings.
Spacing feels intentionally tight and handwritten, with forms that occasionally vary in width and flourish length, adding to the natural, non-mechanical cadence. Numerals are simple and rounded, matching the script’s stroke behavior and keeping the set cohesive.
