A lively handwritten script with a rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle thick–thin variation and occasional tapered terminals, giving the letters a quick, drawn rhythm. Forms are tall and compact with small lowercase counters and a notably short x-height, while ascenders and capitals rise prominently. Joins are common and fluid in text, with looped constructions and open, simplified shapes that keep the texture airy rather than dense.
Works well for short to medium text where a casual, handwritten voice is desired—brand accents, packaging callouts, social media graphics, invitations, greeting cards, and quote-style headlines. It performs best at display sizes where the loops, joins, and tapered terminals have room to read clearly.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, like fast, confident handwriting on a note or label. Its bouncy rhythm and looped gestures read informal and personable, with a slightly expressive flair suited to friendly messaging rather than formal presentation.
Designed to capture the immediacy of cursive handwriting with a smooth, brush-like flow and an energetic baseline rhythm. The tall proportions and compact lowercase aim to create a distinctive, stylish texture while keeping the overall feel informal and personal.
Capitals are simplified and gesture-led, often resembling a single continuous motion, and the numerals follow the same handwritten logic with smooth curves and light modulation. Spacing and stroke endings feel naturally irregular in a controlled way, reinforcing an authentic hand-drawn character while remaining visually consistent across the set.
