A lively handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a noticeably bouncy baseline. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation like a pointed brush or flexible pen, with tapered entries/exits and occasional heavier downstrokes. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, mixing cursive joins with lifted, single-stroke forms; capitals are simplified and open, often built from long verticals and soft curves. Spacing is relatively open for a script, helping the narrow forms stay readable, while looped ascenders/descenders add rhythmic texture in words and lines.
Works well for short-to-medium display settings such as branding accents, packaging labels, invitations, greeting cards, quotes, and social media graphics. The narrow, contrasty strokes and tall proportions also make it effective for stacked headlines and compact layouts, while the open spacing helps maintain clarity in sentence-case text.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, with a light, chatty energy. Its looping forms and springy rhythm suggest a friendly, crafty aesthetic suited to upbeat messaging rather than formal or corporate voice.
Designed to emulate quick, confident handwriting with a brush-like contrast and a relaxed rhythm, aiming for an approachable signature feel that stays legible in common display sizes.
Capitals tend to be taller and more linear than the lowercase, creating clear word starts in running text. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and occasional curves that mirror the script’s contrast and tapers.
