A lively handwritten script with brush-like strokes, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and a gently irregular rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and mostly upright, with compact bowls and a short lowercase body that emphasizes tall ascenders and deep, looped descenders. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and occasional flicks, and spacing varies slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a natural, drawn feel while remaining clear in word shapes.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text settings where a friendly handwritten tone is desired—logos, boutique branding, packaging callouts, posters, invitations, and social graphics. It works best at display sizes where the contrast and tapered joins stay crisp, and can add character as an accent alongside a neutral text face.
The font feels upbeat and personable, like quick marker lettering used for notes, menus, and craft signage. Its bouncy curves and soft loops add warmth and approachability, while the crisp contrast keeps it visually energetic and attention-getting.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of real brush handwriting while keeping letterforms consistent enough for repeated use. The narrow proportions and strong contrast appear intended to create a lively, space-efficient script that stands out in titles and branded phrases.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent brush logic, with capitals reading as simple, confident initials rather than ornate swashes. Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten construction, with a casual mix of curves and angled joins that matches the text rhythm.
