A lively, handwritten script with a fine, mostly monoline stroke and smooth, pen-like curves. Letterforms lean forward with a brisk rhythm and variable character widths, producing an organic, note-like texture. Capitals are tall and expressive with open loops and occasional flourish, while lowercase forms are compact with a notably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that add vertical swing. Terminals taper gently and joints stay fluid, creating continuous, cursive movement without rigid baseline discipline.
Well suited for short-to-medium headlines, brand signatures, product labels, invitations, and social graphics where a personal, handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for pull quotes or captions, especially when set with generous spacing and at sizes large enough to preserve the fine strokes.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting. Its light touch and looping forms read as friendly and relaxed, with just enough flourish to feel expressive rather than messy.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of natural cursive writing while staying clean and legible in display settings. The tall, flourished capitals and compact lowercase suggest an emphasis on expressive word shapes and a light, elegant handwritten presence.
In longer text, the narrow proportions and tight lowercase can look delicate, while the extended strokes in letters like g, j, y, and z create pronounced descender movement. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, lightly drawn forms and subtle variation that reinforces the human feel.
