A lively, pen-drawn script with slender strokes and a quick, bouncy rhythm. Letterforms are compact and tall, with small lowercase bodies and long ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, airy texture. Strokes stay mostly even in weight with occasional tapering at terminals, and many glyphs feature open loops and simple swashes—especially in capitals—giving the set a distinctly handwritten, slightly improvised feel. Spacing is variable and organic, favoring a natural written cadence over rigid alignment.
Works best for short-to-medium display settings where a friendly handwritten voice is desired: brand accents, packaging callouts, invitations, social graphics, and quote-style headlines. It can also serve as a signature-like accent paired with a clean sans or serif in layouts that need a human, personal touch.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like neat handwriting done with a fine marker. Its looping capitals and brisk joins read as personable and expressive, bringing a light, conversational energy to short phrases and names.
Designed to capture the feel of quick, elegant handwriting—compact, looped, and expressive—while remaining clean enough for repeated use in titles and branded phrases. The emphasis appears to be on personality and flow, with decorative capitals providing extra emphasis for initials and key words.
Capitals are more decorative than the lowercase, often using tall entry strokes and looped bowls that stand out in headings. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, narrow forms and a consistent pen rhythm that keeps mixed text looking cohesive.
