A casual cursive script with a tall, upright rhythm and a noticeable rightward slant. Strokes appear brush-pen inspired, with tapered terminals and occasional swells that create a lively, high-contrast feel. Letterforms are narrow and vertically extended, with long ascenders and descenders and a compact lowercase body; bowls and counters are generally open, while many characters feature generous loops (notably in capitals and letters like g, y, and z). Connections are fluid in text settings, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep word shapes continuous and energetic.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as logos, boutique branding, packaging callouts, invitations, and social media graphics. It also works effectively for headlines or pull quotes where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, while longer paragraphs may benefit from generous size and spacing to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, with an informal, handwritten charm. Its looping forms and quick, gestural stroke behavior give it a warm, approachable voice that can feel slightly whimsical and romantic without becoming overly formal.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting in a connected script format, balancing decorative loops with readable word shapes. The narrow proportions and tall extenders suggest an intent to feel elegant and lively in display use while retaining an informal, personal touch.
Capitals show expressive entry and exit strokes and varied flourish, helping them stand out in headings. Numerals are simple and handwritten in spirit, matching the narrow, vertical cadence of the alphabet. Spacing in the samples reads moderately open for a script, supporting legibility while preserving a natural, hand-drawn irregularity.
