A lively handwritten script with brush-like stroke modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with looping connections and occasional breaks that keep the rhythm airy rather than fully continuous. Uppercase shapes are tall and gestural, while lowercase forms use compact bowls and long, slender ascenders/descenders that create a bouncy baseline texture. The contrast between thick downstrokes and thin hairlines is pronounced, and counters remain open enough to stay readable in short lines of text.
Well-suited for branding accents, packaging labels, invitations, and social graphics where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It performs best in headlines, short phrases, and pull quotes, and can work for brief text blocks when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is personable and informal, like quick marker lettering refined into a consistent set. It feels upbeat and slightly quirky, balancing elegance from the high-contrast strokes with approachability from the loose joins and rounded loops.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with a polished consistency, aiming for an expressive script that feels personal without becoming overly ornate. The narrow, tall proportions and strong stroke modulation help it read as energetic and stylish in display settings.
Capitals stand out as expressive initials and may dominate at small sizes, while the lowercase maintains a smoother, more even flow. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, lightly flourished shapes that match the script’s rhythm.
