A lively, handwritten script with a quick, brush-pen feel and gently tapering strokes. Letterforms lean forward with open counters and a rhythmic, bouncing baseline, alternating between slender connecting strokes and slightly heavier downstrokes. The capitals are tall and gestural, with simplified swashes and occasional looped entrances, while lowercase forms stay compact with minimal ornament and smooth joins. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, keeping narrow silhouettes and soft curves for a cohesive set.
Well-suited for applications that benefit from a personal, crafted voice—logos and small brand marks, product labels, invitation headlines, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It performs best at display sizes where the stroke texture and lively joins can be appreciated, rather than dense body text.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like an everyday signature or a note written with a felt-tip pen. It reads as upbeat and approachable, with enough motion and irregularity to feel human rather than formal or strictly calligraphic.
Designed to capture an energetic, real-pen handwriting look with clean readability, balancing expressive capitals and straightforward lowercase connections. The aim appears to be an informal script that feels authentic and modern, with enough consistency for repeatable typesetting while preserving natural variation.
Stroke endings are rounded and slightly flicked, and the texture suggests natural pen pressure rather than rigid outlines. Spacing appears intentionally loose and organic, with subtle variation in letter widths that adds to the handwritten authenticity, especially in mixed-case words and short phrases.
