A lively handwritten script with a forward-leaning stance and brush-pen modulation. Strokes are rounded and slightly irregular, with tapered terminals and occasional thicker downstrokes that give a natural written rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with tall ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies, creating a high, airy texture at text sizes. Connections are fluid in the sample text, while individual glyphs retain a loose, human variance in width and spacing.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where a human, conversational voice is desired—greeting cards, quotes, invitations, packaging labels, and social graphics. It also works as an accent face for headlines or callouts when paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick note-taking or a friendly sign. Its buoyant loops and soft terminals lend a warm, approachable energy that reads as upbeat rather than formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of casual cursive writing with brush-like stroke behavior—prioritizing charm and motion over strict uniformity. The narrow, tall rhythm suggests an intention to stay compact while still feeling expressive and hand-made.
Uppercase forms are simplified and marker-like, pairing comfortably with the loopier lowercase. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded shapes and uneven, natural proportions, keeping the set cohesive in mixed text.
