A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and a noticeable rightward slant. Strokes show natural modulation and tapered terminals, with occasional thicker downstrokes and lighter connecting movement. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a compact lowercase and long extenders, giving lines a vertical, airy rhythm. The baseline is mostly steady but retains subtle hand-drawn variability, and spacing is slightly irregular in a way that reinforces the organic texture.
Well suited for short-to-medium display text where a personal, handmade voice is desired—social graphics, invitations, greeting cards, packaging callouts, and poster headlines. It also works for pull quotes and branding accents when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The font reads as personable and upbeat, like quick note-taking with a confident marker. Its looping joins and tall, gestural capitals add a touch of charm and spontaneity, keeping the tone informal and human rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture quick, natural handwriting with a brushy stroke and flowing connections, prioritizing warmth and character over strict regularity. Its narrow, tall proportions and animated capitals suggest a goal of making headlines and short phrases feel energetic and personal.
Capitals are more decorative and open, while lowercase forms rely on simple joins and occasional looped entries/exits, helping words flow without becoming overly dense. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded forms and casual proportions that match the text rhythm.
