A compact, brush-pen styled script with tall ascenders/descenders and a noticeably small lowercase x-height. Strokes show organic swelling and tapering, with rounded terminals and soft curves that keep the texture approachable rather than sharp. Letterforms lean on simple, looped constructions (especially in the lowercase) and show mild irregularities in width and spacing that reinforce a hand-drawn rhythm. Capitals read like quick headline forms with simplified structure, while lowercase maintains a flowing, cursive continuity and open counters where the brush lifts.
Best suited for short to medium display copy—titles, pull quotes, packaging accents, and social posts—where its handwritten texture and looping forms can be appreciated. It also works well for invitations, greeting cards, and casual branding that benefits from an approachable, personal tone.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick marker lettering on a note or label. Its bouncy proportions and soft, rounded joins give it a welcoming, informal character suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident brush handwriting with a clean, repeatable system—balancing legibility with an intentionally handmade, informal feel for display-oriented typography.
The narrow set and tall extenders create a vertical, energetic silhouette, and the brush modulation adds lively texture at display sizes. In longer lines, the compact proportions and small x-height can make paragraphs feel airy but more decorative than utilitarian.
