A lively handwritten script with slender strokes and a gently bouncy baseline. Letterforms show a brush-pen feel: mostly clean, single-stroke construction with occasional pressure-like thickening and tapered terminals. Curves are open and rounded, with frequent loops in ascenders/descenders and simplified joins that keep the texture light rather than densely connected. Capitals are tall and gesture-driven, while lowercase forms stay compact with a modest x-height and long, elastic extenders that add rhythm and vertical movement.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a personal, handmade voice is desired—greeting cards, informal invitations, boutique packaging, product tags, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes and headings when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like neat handwriting used on notes, invitations, or handmade goods. Its narrow, quick stroke rhythm and looping forms give it an upbeat, personable character rather than a formal calligraphic one.
Designed to capture a polished but natural handwriting look: narrow, upright, and energetic, with looping extenders and brush-like terminals that add charm without becoming overly ornate.
Spacing appears intentionally airy, helping individual letters remain legible despite the narrow proportions. Numerals and punctuation follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and occasional looped entry/exit strokes that maintain consistency with the alphabet.
