A lively handwritten script with tall, narrow proportions and a buoyant rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thicker downstrokes and finer hairline curves, plus rounded terminals that read like brush or marker lettering. Letterforms mix connected and loosely separated joins, giving words a flowing cursive line while keeping individual shapes distinct. Ascenders and capitals are elongated and prominent, with occasional loops and gentle swashes, and the numerals follow the same calligraphic, slightly irregular hand-drawn logic.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display settings where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging labels, social posts, and pull quotes. It can also work for subheads or accents paired with a simple sans for longer text.
The overall tone is personable and upbeat, balancing a neat, legible cursive with an informal, handmade charm. Its narrow, tall stance adds a slightly whimsical elegance without feeling rigid or formal.
Designed to capture the feel of contemporary hand lettering: a slim, flowing cursive with clear character shapes, expressive capitals, and a polished-yet-personal finish for decorative typography.
Capitals are especially expressive and taller than the lowercase, helping create clear word shapes and a headline-friendly presence. Curves are smooth and continuous, and the texture shows subtle, human variation rather than strict geometric repetition.
