A handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and brush-pen feel, defined by smooth, tapered strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with lively baseline movement and uneven, organic widths that mimic quick marker writing. Connections are fluid in lowercase, with simplified joins and occasional lifted strokes, while capitals are tall and slightly more open, keeping the same rhythmic, drawn-by-hand texture. Counters stay compact and the overall color is light and clean, favoring speed and gesture over strict symmetry.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where an informal, human touch is wanted—such as boutique branding, product labels, café menus, social graphics, and event invitations. It can also work for pull quotes or headings, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body copy.
The font reads as upbeat and personable, like a quick note written with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its looping forms and energetic rhythm give it a relaxed, informal charm that feels welcoming rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of everyday cursive writing while remaining clean and legible in display sizes. The narrow proportions and smooth brushlike strokes prioritize a fast, expressive signature style that feels modern and approachable.
Ascenders are notably tall, and many lowercase forms use looped constructions (notably in letters like l, f, and y), reinforcing the flowing, cursive character. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying simple and upright with a lightly drawn, natural cadence.
