A lively handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and brush-pen stroke behavior. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with rounded terminals and occasional swelling in curves that suggests pressure changes rather than strict monoline construction. Capitals are simple and upright in structure but remain cursive in feel, while lowercase forms rely on looping joins and smooth, continuous movement. Counters stay open and airy, and long ascenders/descenders add a flowing vertical rhythm; numerals follow the same handwritten logic with soft curves and slightly irregular proportions.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—brand accents, packaging callouts, café menus, invitations, social posts, and poster headlines. It can also work for quotes or subheads when set with generous spacing and sufficient size to preserve its delicate joins.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting on a note or label. Its narrow, energetic rhythm reads as upbeat and approachable, with just enough roughness to feel human without looking messy.
Designed to mimic quick brush handwriting with a clean, repeatable rhythm—capturing natural movement, narrow word shapes, and expressive loops for informal display applications.
Connections between letters appear fluid but not overly elaborate, keeping word shapes clear while preserving a spontaneous, hand-drawn texture. The narrow proportions and tall extenders create a compact line length while maintaining strong motion across the baseline.
