A tall, slanted handwritten script with a brisk, brush-pen rhythm and mostly unconnected letterforms. Strokes are light with subtle pressure modulation, producing tapered terminals and occasional thicker downstrokes. The proportions are narrow and vertically stretched, with long ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies, creating an energetic, high-contrast silhouette between text lines. Curves are loose and slightly irregular in a natural way, and capitals are expressive with sweeping entry and exit strokes.
Well suited to logos, boutique branding, packaging labels, social media graphics, and short editorial callouts where a handwritten accent is needed. It also works for posters and quote-based designs that benefit from a light, airy script presence.
The font reads as informal and personable, with a quick, spontaneous feel like neat marker lettering. Its narrow, upright-leaning forms and springy loops give it a contemporary, optimistic tone that feels friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident handwriting with a brush-pen feel—prioritizing expressiveness, vertical elegance, and a modern casual tone over strict calligraphic formality.
In the samples, word shapes stay clean and legible at display sizes, while the small lowercase and fine joins suggest careful sizing for longer text. Numerals share the same handwritten cadence, with simple, open forms that match the script’s light touch.
