A flowing handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a noticeably right-leaning slant. Strokes read as pen-drawn and mostly monoline, with subtle pressure changes and occasional tapering at terminals. The rhythm is bouncy and irregular in a natural way, with long ascenders and descenders, open bowls, and generous internal counters. Connections are frequent in lowercase, while capitals are more gesture-like and often stand alone, giving mixed-case text an expressive, handwritten cadence.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where a human, hand-signed feel is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, social content, and lifestyle packaging. It can also work for branding accents or pull quotes when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick notes written with a felt-tip or fineliner. Its light, airy color and looping joins feel friendly and upbeat rather than formal, lending a relaxed, conversational character to headlines and short messages.
Designed to capture the immediacy of everyday cursive handwriting: quick, legible strokes with expressive loops and a light texture. The mix of connected lowercase and gestural capitals suggests an intent to feel personal and spontaneous while remaining readable in display sizes.
Lowercase forms show distinctive looped entries and exits (notably in letters like g, j, y), while several capitals use simplified, single-stroke constructions that emphasize speed and spontaneity. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with open, lightly drawn shapes that match the script’s vertical emphasis.
