A lively cursive script with a consistent, pen-like stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are built from long, sweeping entries and exits, with frequent open counters and occasional looped constructions in both capitals and lowercase. The rhythm is quick and fluid, with variable letter widths and generous spacing that keeps the texture light despite the continuous, handwritten flow. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, using simple, single-stroke shapes and smooth curves rather than rigid geometric forms.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where a handwritten voice is desired—logos, product labels, café/restaurant messaging, posters, invitations, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes and headings when set with comfortable tracking to preserve its airy, flowing texture.
The overall tone feels informal and human, like fast, confident handwriting used for notes, signatures, and upbeat messaging. Its brisk motion and looping gestures give it an energetic, slightly playful character that reads as personable rather than formal.
Designed to capture the speed and spontaneity of cursive handwriting while keeping the stroke weight even and the forms broadly legible in display sizes. The emphasis is on expressive motion—long swashes, looping capitals, and a consistent slant—to deliver an approachable, contemporary handwritten feel.
Capital letters are especially gestural, often built from large leading strokes and simplified terminals that prioritize motion over symmetry. Connections between letters are implied through consistent entry/exit strokes, making words feel continuous even when individual joins vary slightly as in natural handwriting.
