A relaxed handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show brush-pen behavior with tapered entries and exits and occasional swelling in downstrokes, creating a lively rhythm rather than strict uniformity. Letterforms are loosely connected in running text, with open counters, generous spacing, and long ascenders/descenders that give words a vertical, airy profile. Terminals are rounded and flicked, and curves are smooth but intentionally irregular, preserving a natural hand-drawn cadence.
This font suits short-to-medium text where a personal, hand-lettered feel is desired—social graphics, packaging accents, invitations, greeting cards, and pull quotes. It performs especially well at display sizes for headings, names, and highlighted phrases, where its tall proportions and lively stroke endings can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels informal and approachable, like quick marker notes or a personal message. Its energetic slant and springy strokes read as upbeat and conversational, with a slightly whimsical edge that keeps it from feeling formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, natural cursive writing made with a brush pen or marker—expressive and legible, but not overly polished. It prioritizes a friendly handwritten texture and fluid word shapes suitable for modern casual branding and personal communication.
Capitals have a simplified, handwritten construction that stands apart from the lowercase without becoming ornate, making them useful for emphasis. Numerals follow the same casual, drawn-by-hand logic, with simple shapes and light, flowing strokes that match the text texture.
