A tall, hand-drawn cursive with a brush-pen feel, mixing slender strokes with occasional heavier, inkier swell points. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small x-height that makes lowercase appear petite under the capitals. Strokes show slight wobble and natural irregularities, with sharp, tapered terminals and frequent looped joins in the lowercase. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven, organic rhythm that reads more like quick handwriting than constructed script.
This font suits short display settings where a handmade voice is desirable—posters, social graphics, packaging callouts, and branding accents. It works best at moderate-to-large sizes where the small x-height and lively joins remain clear, and where its irregular rhythm can add character rather than hinder long-form readability.
The overall tone is informal and lively, with a spirited, slightly mischievous energy. Its narrow, tall shapes and quick strokes give it a youthful, spontaneous personality that feels personal and human rather than polished or formal.
The design appears intended to capture fast, brushy handwriting in a compact, vertically oriented script, prioritizing personality and motion over strict uniformity. It aims to deliver an expressive, human touch for attention-grabbing lines and casual messaging.
Capitals tend to be simpler, monoline-leaning gestures that pair with more actively looped lowercase, producing a noticeable case contrast in behavior. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with narrow silhouettes and casual curves, reinforcing a cohesive set for short, expressive text.
