A lively handwritten script with a smooth, brush-pen rhythm and a gentle rightward slant. Strokes show modest thick–thin modulation, with rounded terminals and frequent looped forms in ascenders and descenders. Letterforms are compact and tall, with tight interior spacing and a bouncy baseline that adds motion. The capitals are simpler, signage-like gestures that pair cleanly with the more fluid lowercase, while numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten construction.
Well-suited for short to medium lines where a casual, handwritten voice is desired—quotes, invitations, greeting cards, labels, and social media graphics. It can also work for headers on packaging or posters, where its tall, narrow forms help fit longer words while keeping a handcrafted feel.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick, confident marker lettering. Its energetic loops and brisk cadence feel personable and slightly playful, making text read as conversational rather than formal.
Designed to emulate quick, neat brush handwriting with a compact footprint and clear, readable letterforms. The goal appears to balance expressive loops and motion with enough regularity to perform reliably in display and headline settings.
Connectivity is suggested in many lowercase shapes, but joins are not strictly continuous, giving it a natural written texture. The alphabet maintains consistent stroke behavior and proportions across letters, with distinctive looped descenders (notably in g, y, and z) that create expressive word shapes.
