A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining slender hairlines with occasional thicker downstrokes and tapered terminals. Letterforms are tall and compact with a gently right-leaning rhythm, rounded bowls, and long ascenders/descenders that add vertical energy. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, giving the text an informal, written-on-the-fly texture while keeping word shapes clear. Counters are open and strokes show slight wobble and pressure variation, reinforcing an authentic hand-drawn character.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display copy where a personal, handmade impression is desired—logos, product labels, café menus, invitations, greeting cards, and social graphics. It also works nicely for pull quotes and headings, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body text.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like quick notes or casual signage. Its bouncy proportions and flowing curves feel upbeat and approachable, with a touch of whimsy from the exaggerated loops and tall extenders.
Designed to emulate quick, confident cursive writing with visible pen pressure and natural irregularity. The intent appears to be an expressive display script that feels human and spontaneous while remaining legible in common headline phrases.
Uppercase letters are expressive and often more gestural than the lowercase, acting like simple swashes or lead-in strokes at the start of words. Spacing stays fairly tight and vertical, so the font reads best with a bit of breathing room in line spacing to accommodate descenders and looped forms.
