A tall, condensed handwritten script with a lively, slightly bouncy baseline and high-contrast strokes that alternate between thin hairlines and thicker downstrokes. The letterforms are narrow with elongated ascenders and descenders, and many characters show soft entry/exit strokes that create an occasionally connected, cursive flow. Terminals are rounded and brush-like, with subtle wobble and organic inconsistencies that reinforce a hand-drawn texture. Uppercase forms are simplified and narrow, while lowercase includes generous loops (notably in g, y, and j) and compact counters that keep the overall color light and airy.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where its tall, narrow cursive character can shine—such as headings, greeting cards, invitations, labels, packaging, and boutique branding. It also works well for social graphics and pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing to preserve clarity.
The font reads as personable and upbeat, with a charming handmade rhythm that feels informal and approachable. Its narrow, tall silhouette adds a whimsical elegance, while the brushy contrast and looping forms lend a crafty, boutique tone rather than a formal calligraphic one.
The design intention appears to be a modern, friendly handwritten script that provides a natural brush-pen feel while staying compact and vertically expressive. It aims to deliver an informal, crafted personality for display typography without relying on strict calligraphic precision.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the narrow proportions can make similar shapes feel close in word texture, especially in lowercase runs. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with slim, slightly irregular forms that match the letter rhythm.
