A lively cursive script with a rightward slant and a quick, brush-pen rhythm. Strokes show subtle contrast with rounded terminals, occasional tapering, and slightly irregular pressure, reinforcing a hand-drawn feel. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders and compact lowercase bodies that create a light, vertical texture. Connections are frequent but not rigidly continuous, with smooth entry/exit strokes and generous loops in select capitals and lowercase forms.
Well-suited to short-to-medium phrases where a handwritten voice is desirable, such as branding accents, packaging labels, social media graphics, quote treatments, and casual invitations. It can also work as a secondary script in layouts where a light, narrow handwritten line is needed without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like fast, neat handwriting used for notes or captions. Its bouncy baseline and looping gestures give it a cheerful, conversational energy that feels approachable rather than formal.
Designed to capture a natural cursive handwriting look with quick, flowing strokes and restrained flourish. The intent appears to balance readability with an expressive, personal character suitable for contemporary informal communication.
Capitals tend to be more open and gestural, adding flourish without becoming overly ornate, while numerals remain simple and handwritten in spirit. Spacing and joining behavior varies slightly across glyphs, contributing to an organic cadence in longer text.
