A lively cursive script with a tall, slender overall proportion and a smooth, brush-pen feel. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thin connecting hairlines and heavier downstrokes, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered ends. The rhythm is bouncy and slightly irregular in a natural, handwritten way, with compact counters and a very small x-height contrasted by long ascenders and descenders. Letterforms alternate between connected and loosely separated joins, keeping an informal, hand-drawn texture while remaining fairly upright.
Best suited for short to medium display text where the tall, narrow forms and high stroke contrast can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, gift tags, boutique packaging, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or headers when a warm, handcrafted look is desired; for long passages, the small x-height and lively shapes may reduce comfort at smaller sizes.
The font conveys an upbeat, personable tone—more like quick, confident marker lettering than polished calligraphy. Its loops and springy verticals read as friendly and expressive, with a lighthearted, whimsical energy suited to casual messaging.
Designed to emulate expressive everyday cursive made with a brush pen, balancing legibility with personality. The intent appears to be a modern, friendly script that feels handmade and spontaneous while still maintaining consistent proportions and a clear writing rhythm.
Capitals are decorative and varied, often featuring prominent loops and sweeping entry strokes that add personality in headlines. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing simple forms with occasional curves and flourish-like turns, which reinforces the informal, crafted character.
