A tall, slender handwritten script with a lively baseline and noticeably uneven widths from letter to letter. Strokes feel inked and slightly brushy, with tapered terminals and occasional swelling that gives the line a natural, drawn pressure. The lowercase is compact with small counters and short bodies compared to long ascenders/descenders, while capitals are narrow and elongated, often built from simple vertical stems and open curves. Spacing is irregular in a deliberate, organic way, and connections appear frequently in the sample text, producing a continuous, flowing rhythm even when individual letterforms remain distinct.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where personality is the priority—headlines, posters, cover art, packaging accents, social media graphics, and quoted phrases. It can also work for invitations or informal branding when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The font reads as friendly and informal, with a quirky, improvised charm. Its long, looping forms and springy rhythm suggest personal notes, handmade labels, and expressive headlines rather than strict polish.
Designed to capture an authentic hand-drawn script look with tall proportions and expressive loops, prioritizing character and movement over rigid uniformity. The intent appears to be a distinctive, personable display handwriting that stays upright and readable while still feeling spontaneous.
Several forms lean on simplified, gestural construction (especially in capitals), which creates strong personality but can reduce clarity at very small sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten logic, keeping a consistent tone with the letters.
