A tall, handwritten script with a lightly brushed, monoline feel and subtle stroke modulation. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with long ascenders and descenders and a small lowercase body that makes the x-height feel restrained. Curves are rounded and open, with occasional loops in bowls and terminals, and a slightly uneven baseline rhythm that reinforces the drawn-by-hand character. Uppercase forms are simplified and slender, while lowercase letters lean gently with smooth joins and soft, tapering stroke endings.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as quotes, greeting cards, invitations, social media graphics, and lifestyle or craft-oriented branding. It can also work for light packaging and labels where a friendly handwritten note-like voice is desired; best used at sizes that preserve the delicate joins and small lowercase bodies.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—like quick, neat marker lettering. Its tall proportions and springy curves read as upbeat and approachable, with a lightly expressive texture that feels human rather than precise.
Designed to mimic quick, confident cursive written with a fine brush or marker, balancing legibility with a casual handwritten charm. The narrow, tall construction and restrained x-height suggest an intent to keep compositions light and elegant while still feeling spontaneous and personal.
Spacing appears relatively airy for a script, helping individual letters remain legible despite the narrow proportions. Numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm, with simple forms and slight stroke tapering that matches the alphabet.
