A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes show modest, natural-looking pressure changes, with tapered ends and occasional thickened downstrokes that create an organic texture. Letterforms are tall and slender with long ascenders and descenders, tight internal spacing, and a slightly irregular, human cadence. Connections are intermittent rather than fully continuous, mixing cursive joins with lifted, single-stroke forms; capitals are simplified and often looped, reading like quick marker lettering rather than formal calligraphy.
Best suited for short display text such as headlines, quotes, posters, and social graphics where its handmade texture can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, invitations, and greeting-card style applications that benefit from an informal, personal voice.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a spirited, spontaneous energy that feels journal-like and approachable. Its narrow, tall proportions and quick brush terminals add a lightly quirky, expressive character that suits conversational or crafty messaging.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick brush handwriting while keeping forms recognizable and consistent enough for repeatable typesetting. The tall, condensed build and lively stroke endings suggest an intent to deliver expressive emphasis in compact horizontal space.
Uppercase forms are prominent and elongated, often using looped stems and open bowls that maintain legibility at display sizes. Lowercase shapes lean on simple, handwritten constructions (notably tall l, f, and t forms) with occasional swashy turns, while numerals are similarly narrow and drawn with the same brisk, pen-made modulation.
