A tall, slim handwritten script with a brush-pen rhythm and pronounced stroke tapering. Letterforms alternate between thicker downstrokes and hairline upstrokes, creating a lively, calligraphic contrast without feeling formal. The proportions are vertically elongated with relatively small counters and a modest x-height, while ascenders and capitals reach high and add emphasis. Terminals are rounded and slightly irregular, with occasional looped entries and open joins that keep the texture light and breathable. Spacing is uneven in a natural way, and the overall silhouette varies per glyph, reinforcing the hand-drawn character.
Best suited to short, expressive text such as greeting cards, invitations, quotes, product packaging, and social media graphics. It works well for headlines, captions, and name or phrase treatments where the distinctive capitals and brushy contrast can be featured, rather than dense paragraphs.
The font reads friendly and expressive, like quick marker or brush lettering used for personal notes, crafts, and casual branding. Its buoyant movement and thin hairlines give it a delicate, whimsical tone, while the tall shapes add a touch of drama and charm.
The design appears intended to capture an informal, brush-pen handwriting look with tall proportions and a light, animated texture. Its goal is legibility with personality—delivering a spontaneous, crafted feel while remaining coherent across a full alphabet and numerals.
Capital letters are especially distinctive and varied, mixing simple strokes with occasional loops and swashes, which makes initials stand out in short phrases. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with slender forms and soft curves, keeping the overall color consistent in running text. Because hairlines get very fine, the typeface visually favors larger sizes and clean backgrounds where its contrast and tapering can remain clear.
