A tall, condensed handwritten script with a lively, brush-pen rhythm. Strokes show noticeable contrast between thicker downstrokes and lighter hairlines, with rounded terminals and occasional ink-like tapering. Letterforms lean mostly upright and stay narrow, while widths vary per character, creating an organic cadence across words. The lowercase includes frequent loops and soft joins, with compact counters and a relatively low x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its narrow, energetic forms can add personality—such as headlines, invitations, greeting cards, social media graphics, and product packaging. It can also work for quotes or subheads when given enough size and spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines and looping details.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, like quick marker lettering for notes, packaging, or informal headlines. Its bounce and unevenness read as personal and spontaneous rather than polished or formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of handwritten brush lettering in a compact, vertical silhouette. The intent appears to balance legibility with expressive movement, delivering an informal script voice that feels quick, human, and contemporary.
Caps are simplified and tall, pairing cleanly with the loopier lowercase for a mixed-case look that feels hand-lettered. Numerals follow the same narrow, brushy construction, maintaining consistency in texture and stroke behavior across the set.
