A handwritten cursive with a brush-pen feel, showing smooth, tapering strokes and occasional heavier downstrokes that create a lively rhythm. Letterforms are tall and slender with generous ascenders/descenders and a small lowercase core, producing an airy texture in text. Curves are rounded and slightly elastic, with loose joins, soft terminals, and subtle stroke wobble that preserves an authentic hand-drawn character. Capitals are simple and open, while lowercase forms lean toward single-storey, looped constructions and a gently bouncing baseline.
Well-suited for short to medium-length copy where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, quotes, social posts, boutique branding, and packaging callouts. It also works effectively for headings and pull quotes when you want a casual, crafted look without heavy ornamentation.
The font reads as warm and personable, with an informal, diary-like charm. Its narrow, tall proportions and springy curves give it a lighthearted, whimsical tone that feels approachable rather than formal.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with legible forms and a clean, contemporary script flow. The goal appears to be an expressive everyday cursive that keeps texture and individuality while remaining readable in common display and lifestyle applications.
In running text the spacing stays relatively open, helping counters and loops remain clear despite the narrow build. The numerals match the script sensibility with simple, rounded forms and consistent stroke behavior, supporting cohesive mixed-content settings.
