A lively handwritten script with brush-like strokes, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, airy rhythm. Strokes taper sharply at terminals, and many joins are implied rather than fully continuous, giving the texture of quick pen or brush writing. Uppercase forms are simple and upright in structure but rendered with the same flowing, gestural stroke logic as the lowercase; counters tend to be compact and loops are selective rather than ornate.
Well-suited to short display settings where a personal, handcrafted voice is desired, such as brand marks, boutique packaging, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and product names when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is warm and informal, combining a casual note-taking feel with a touch of calligraphic flair. Its energetic rhythm and soft, tapered ends read as personable and upbeat rather than formal or rigid.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of brush-pen handwriting in a clean, controllable font: narrow, energetic letterforms with high-contrast strokes that add charm and emphasis in display use.
Spacing feels slightly uneven in a natural, handwritten way, and word shapes stay legible thanks to clear silhouettes and restrained ornamentation. The figures match the same slanted, tapered treatment, helping mixed text keep a cohesive, crafted look.
