A slender handwritten cursive with a brush‑pen feel, combining smooth curves with occasional angular turns. Strokes show clear contrast between thin hairlines and darker downstrokes, with slightly uneven edges that keep the linework human and textured. Proportions are tall and narrow, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase x-height that gives the text a lifted, delicate rhythm. Letterforms alternate between lightly connected and separated joins, and the overall spacing stays open enough for legibility while preserving a spontaneous, drawn-by-hand cadence.
Best suited to short to medium text where personality is the priority: logos and wordmarks, product packaging, café menus, greeting cards, invitations, social posts, and pull quotes. The tall, narrow rhythm and delicate strokes work especially well at display sizes on clean backgrounds, where the contrast and looping joins remain clear.
The tone is playful and personal, like quick lettering in a notebook or on a handmade label. Its lightness and looping forms feel friendly and airy, while the contrast and tall verticals add a touch of elegance without becoming formal. Overall it reads as charming, slightly quirky, and craft-oriented.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident brush lettering in a tidy, repeatable set of glyphs. The intention appears to balance expressive, loopy cursive gestures with enough consistency to function in display typography and branded copy.
Uppercase forms tend to be more expressive and variable than the lowercase, creating a lively headline texture. Numerals are simple and handwritten in spirit, with rounded shapes and minimal ornamentation that match the letterforms.
