A lively, handwritten script with a rightward slant and a narrow, vertically stretched feel. Strokes resemble quick pen or brush marks, with subtly tapered terminals and occasional thick–thin modulation that keeps the texture organic. Letterforms are loosely connected in running text, with open counters and frequent loops in ascenders and descenders that create a buoyant rhythm. Capitals are simple and slightly irregular, while lowercase forms show the most personality through long entry/exit strokes and fluid joins.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a handwritten voice is desired—headlines, pull quotes, posters, greeting cards, invitations, and lifestyle packaging. It also works well for social media graphics and branding accents where an expressive, personal tone matters more than strict uniformity.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like confident note-taking or a quick headline written by hand. Its energetic curves and small irregularities read as approachable and human rather than polished or corporate, giving it a light, upbeat character.
Designed to capture the immediacy of cursive handwriting in a clean, repeatable font: narrow, slightly italic, and rhythmically looped to stay legible while still feeling spontaneous and drawn by hand.
Spacing and joins vary from letter to letter, producing a natural, hand-drawn cadence. Numerals follow the same flowing style, with rounded shapes and handwritten proportions that blend well with the alphabetic glyphs.
