A lively handwritten script with a tall, slender build and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, with rounded terminals and frequent loops in ascenders and descenders. Letterforms are generally upright with gentle curves, and connections appear selective—some characters join smoothly while others lift, reinforcing a natural pen-written cadence. Counters are open and simplified, and the overall spacing stays airy despite the narrow proportions.
Well-suited for short to medium display text where an approachable, hand-drawn voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, social media graphics, quote layouts, boutique packaging, and casual brand marks. It can also work for headings and callouts when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The font feels personable and upbeat, like quick, neat handwriting used for notes or informal signage. Its looping forms and rhythmic stroke contrast give it a slightly whimsical tone while remaining clean enough to read at display sizes.
Designed to capture the look of confident, modern cursive handwriting—narrow, tidy, and expressive—while maintaining consistent rhythm and readability for display typography.
Capitals are tall and prominent with simple, signature-like flourishes rather than ornate swashes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded shapes and a slightly varied set width, keeping the texture organic in mixed text.
