A tall, handwritten script with a lively, slightly bouncy baseline and narrow proportions. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin behavior, with tapered entry/exit strokes and occasional teardrop-like terminals, giving the letters an ink-pen, drawn-by-hand character. Capitals are simple and elongated, while lowercase forms are compact with very short x-height and long ascenders/descenders, creating a vertical rhythm. Letter connections are intermittent rather than fully continuous, and counters tend to be open, keeping the texture light despite the contrast.
Works well for short to medium-length display copy where an informal handwritten voice is desired, such as greeting cards, invitations, product packaging, quote graphics, social media headers, and small branding accents. It’s especially suited to titles, pull quotes, and name/label applications where the tall, narrow rhythm can read clearly at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is personable and informal, like quick, neat handwriting used for notes or craft labels. Its tall loops and soft terminals add a cheerful, approachable feel without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture a tidy, modern handwriting look with tall proportions and expressive contrast, balancing legibility with a personal, crafted touch. The controlled structure and consistent rhythm suggest an aim for everyday usability in casual display contexts rather than formal calligraphy.
The design mixes print-like simplicity with cursive gestures: some forms read as single-stroke handwritten constructions while others show small linking cues and looped joins. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright rhythm and maintain the hand-drawn irregularity in stroke endings, helping text feel cohesive in mixed alphanumeric settings.
