A lively handwritten script with slender, high-contrast strokes and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and tall with generous internal whitespace, featuring looping bowls, soft terminals, and occasional flourished entries/exits that suggest pen movement. Connections appear selectively in the lowercase, while capitals read as standalone drawn forms; overall spacing is open and the texture stays light and airy across words and lines.
Best suited for short to medium display copy where its airy texture and loopy shapes can be appreciated—quotes, invitations, greeting cards, product packaging, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The tone is informal and personable, with a whimsical, conversational character. Its looping forms and uneven handwritten rhythm give it a charming, imperfect “written by hand” warmth that feels approachable rather than formal.
Designed to capture a quick, expressive pen-written look with a light footprint and playful loops, balancing readability with a casual, decorative charm for everyday display typography.
Capitals are simplified but distinctive, and several letters lean on looped construction (notably in round forms and descenders), which adds personality in display sizes. Numerals follow the same drawn logic, staying narrow and lightly weighted to match the text color.
