A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and gently tapering stroke endings. Letterforms are tall and compact with a noticeably small x-height, narrow proportions, and a steady rightward slant. Strokes stay mostly uniform with subtle thick–thin modulation, and terminals are rounded or lightly flicked, giving the outlines a soft, drawn texture. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, producing an easy rhythm that reads like quick, confident handwriting.
Best suited to short to medium display text where its narrow, tall rhythm and handwritten character can add personality—such as headlines, quotes, product packaging, social media graphics, greeting cards, and casual invitations. It can also work for branding accents and labels when a friendly, hand-drawn voice is desired.
The tone is approachable and upbeat, suggesting informal notes, casual branding, and cheerful headlines. Its springy loops and relaxed construction feel personal and contemporary rather than formal or calligraphic.
Likely designed to emulate quick brush handwriting in a clean, consistent way, balancing spontaneity with enough regularity for repeated use across display applications. The narrow build and small x-height emphasize vertical elegance while keeping the overall feel light and informal.
Capitals are simple and linear with occasional oversized loops (notably in letters like G and W), helping create distinctive word shapes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with open, rounded forms that prioritize character over strict geometric consistency.
