A lively handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a loose, brush-pen feel. Strokes show pronounced pressure changes with tapered entries and exits, giving letters a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Shapes are simplified and open, with occasional looped forms (notably in descenders) and gently irregular baselines that keep the texture organic. Capitals are narrow and gestural, while lowercase maintains a light, flowing continuity with a mix of connected and loosely separated joins.
Well-suited for short display text such as quotes, headings, packaging callouts, invitations, and social media graphics where a casual handmade voice is desired. It performs best at moderate-to-large sizes, where the stroke tapering and lively details can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is warm, informal, and conversational, like quick notes written with a confident marker. Its energetic stroke modulation and slightly bouncy rhythm read as personable and upbeat rather than formal or restrained.
Likely designed to capture the look of quick, natural handwriting made with a flexible pen or brush marker, balancing a neat, upright stance with expressive stroke contrast. The narrow, tall proportions and animated terminals aim to provide a distinctive personal tone for contemporary lifestyle and craft-oriented design.
Counters tend to stay open and uncluttered, helping the script remain readable at display sizes despite its narrow proportions. Numerals share the same handwritten energy, with simple constructions and tapered terminals that match the letter strokes.
