A lively, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and a rightward slant. Strokes are predominantly smooth and rounded with subtle pressure variation, producing gently tapered terminals and occasional thicker downstrokes. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with compact lowercase proportions and a noticeably short x-height that makes ascenders and looped forms stand out. Connections are suggested by flowing entry/exit strokes, but spacing remains organic and variable, giving the line a natural, hand-drawn rhythm.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—such as social media graphics, packaging accents, invitations, greeting cards, and casual headlines. It can also suit pull quotes or signage at larger sizes where the narrow, tall rhythm reads clearly.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick marker lettering used for notes, invitations, or casual branding. Its narrow, tall silhouettes and looping forms add charm and motion, keeping the texture light and conversational rather than formal.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with a consistent slant and smooth, looped strokes. The proportions and tapered terminals emphasize personality and motion over strict uniformity, aiming for an authentic handwritten look in display settings.
The font shows consistent stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with rounded counters and soft curves that maintain legibility in short phrases. Capitals are simple and upright in construction while still slanted, and many lowercase letters use looped or single-storey handwritten forms, reinforcing an informal script character.
