A lively handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a consistent forward slant. Strokes feel brush-pen influenced, with tapered entries and exits, occasional pointed terminals, and moderate variation between thicker downstrokes and lighter connecting strokes. Letterforms are loosely connected in text, with open counters and generous internal spacing that keeps words legible despite the narrow build. Capitals are simplified and upright-leaning with long, sweeping stems, while lowercase shows frequent loops (notably in g, j, y) and long ascenders/descenders that add vertical rhythm.
Works well for short to medium-length display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—brand marks, product labels, invitations, quote graphics, and headings. It can also support brief paragraphs when ample line spacing is used to accommodate the tall ascenders and descenders.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick neat handwriting used for notes, packaging, or social content. Its brisk, slightly bouncy movement reads energetic rather than formal, balancing charm with clarity.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with an emphasis on vertical elegance and an easy, conversational flow. The forms prioritize personality and motion while staying clean enough for modern display use.
In running text the connections are selective—some joins are continuous while others break naturally, reinforcing an authentic hand-drawn cadence. The numerals are similarly slender and slightly varied in width, matching the script’s relaxed, written feel.
