A tall, slim handwritten script with smooth, pen-like strokes and lively rhythm. Letterforms lean mostly upright and alternate between simple straight stems and generous loops, creating a bouncy texture across words. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin contrast, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered joins, and the spacing feels airy due to the narrow proportions. Capitals are simplified and elongated rather than ornate, while lowercase forms rely on open counters and long ascenders/descenders for character.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display text where a handwritten personality is desirable—logos, boutique branding, packaging accents, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes and headings when you want a light, personal tone without heavy ornamentation.
The tone is informal and personable, with a light, breezy energy that reads as friendly and approachable. Its looping forms and uneven, hand-drawn cadence add a hint of whimsy, making text feel conversational rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, hand-lettered writing with a streamlined, modern silhouette—balancing legibility with expressive loops and a lively cadence for use in display and personality-driven typography.
In longer lines, the narrow build and tall extenders create a distinctive vertical rhythm; some letters feature prominent entry/exit strokes that emphasize a handwritten flow. Numerals follow the same slim, drawn style, staying clear and consistent with the script character.
