A flowing script with a brush-pen feel, built from smooth, continuous strokes and gently tapered terminals. The letterforms are compact and right-leaning, with rounded bowls, frequent loops, and a buoyant baseline rhythm that alternates between tall ascenders and deep descenders. Capitals are simple and open rather than ornate, while lowercase forms favor single-storey constructions and soft joins that keep words feeling handwritten. Numerals follow the same informal, rounded construction with consistent stroke behavior and easy-to-spot shapes.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as logos, boutique branding, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and social posts. It works especially well for headings, signatures, and quote treatments where an informal, personal voice is desired.
The overall tone is personable and lighthearted, reading like quick, confident handwriting. Its looping forms and springy rhythm lend a warm, slightly romantic character that feels approachable rather than formal.
Designed to capture an easy, modern handwritten script with smooth brush strokes and casual elegance, balancing legibility with a lively, looped character for expressive display typography.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a handwriting-like way, with joins and stroke continuity varying across letters for an authentic drawn cadence. The more slender, taller shapes make the texture feel open at display sizes, while smaller sizes may benefit from additional tracking to preserve clarity.
