A lively handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a springy rhythm. Strokes look like they come from a felt pen or brush marker: mostly smooth, with slight wobble and occasional thickening at curves and joins. The forms are loosely connected in running text, with long ascenders and descenders and compact internal counters, giving words a vertical, stacked feel. Capitals are simple and narrow with minimal ornament, while lowercase relies on quick loops and soft terminals; numerals match the same drawn, slightly irregular texture.
Works best for short display applications such as posters, social graphics, packaging callouts, headings, and casual invitations where an authentic handwritten tone is desired. It can also suit labels, quotes, and branding accents when used with generous size and spacing for clarity.
The overall tone is casual and personable, like quick notes, journal headings, or handmade signage. Its narrow, energetic forms read as playful and informal rather than formal or elegant, adding a human, spontaneous voice to short phrases.
Designed to capture the immediacy of a quick hand-drawn script while staying cohesive enough for repeated use in titles and short passages. The narrow proportions and tall extenders suggest an intention to fit expressive handwriting into tighter horizontal space without losing personality.
In longer lines the tight, tall shapes create a dense texture, so it tends to be more impactful at display sizes where the subtle stroke variation and quirky curves can be appreciated. The character set shown maintains consistent slant and stroke behavior, preserving a cohesive hand-rendered feel across letters and numbers.
