A tall, handwritten script with a monoline feel and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are smooth and slightly elastic, alternating between quick, narrow turns and longer, sweeping curves, especially in the ascenders and descenders. Letterforms are compact in width yet generous in height, with rounded terminals and simple, open counters that keep the texture light. Capitals are expressive and upright-to-slanted with long entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms show occasional joins and looped construction (notably in letters like g, j, y), creating an overall flowing rhythm without strict connectivity.
Works well for short to medium text where personality matters: social media graphics, product packaging, cafe menus, posters, and expressive headlines. It can also suit invitations or greeting-style applications when set with ample spacing and simple supporting typography.
The font reads as informal and human, like quick marker or pen lettering used for notes, menus, or captions. Its tall proportions and springy curves give it an energetic, upbeat tone that feels approachable rather than formal or decorative.
Likely designed to capture a quick, confident handwritten look with tall, narrow proportions and smooth looping descenders, balancing legibility with a casual, personal voice.
The rhythm is intentionally uneven in a natural handwriting way, with subtle variations in stroke length and spacing that enhance the drawn-by-hand character. Numerals and capitals keep the same slim, upright energy, making mixed-case settings feel cohesive and expressive.
