A slanted, handwriting-style script with smooth, continuous strokes and a clear pen-like modulation. Letterforms are compact and slightly narrow, with rounded bowls, open counters, and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage a flowing rhythm. Ascenders are tall and prominent relative to the small lowercase body, and many capitals use simplified, single-stroke constructions with gentle loops and soft terminals. Overall spacing is tight and dynamic, giving words a quick, written-on-the-fly feel while remaining fairly even and consistent.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired, such as branding accents, packaging callouts, quotes, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The tone is warm and informal, like a neat signature or a quick note written with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its bounce and looping joins feel personable and upbeat, making it more conversational than formal.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident cursive writing in a clean, repeatable form—prioritizing flow, rhythm, and an expressive handwritten texture for display applications.
Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded shapes and a slight forward lean, blending naturally with text. Stroke endings are mostly tapered and smooth rather than sharply cut, which helps maintain a fluid, continuous texture across longer phrases.
