A narrow, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and softly tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are upright-to-right-leaning with rounded terminals, occasional loops, and gently uneven stroke rhythm that keeps the texture organic while remaining fairly consistent. Proportions are tall and slim with tight sidebearings, and the lowercase shows compact bodies with prominent ascenders/descenders that create a lively vertical cadence. Capitals are simple and slightly taller, blending naturally into mixed-case words without feeling overly formal.
Works best for short-to-medium display text such as posters, packaging callouts, social media graphics, greeting cards, and quote treatments where a friendly handwritten tone is wanted. The slim, tall forms help fit longer words into narrower spaces, making it useful for headings and accent lines in branding or editorial layouts.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and lightly whimsical—like quick, confident marker lettering used for notes, labels, and upbeat headlines. Its narrow footprint and animated stroke flow give it an energetic, conversational voice rather than a polished calligraphic one.
Likely designed to capture the spontaneity of quick brush handwriting in a condensed format, balancing an informal, personal feel with enough consistency to function reliably in headlines and branded phrases.
The numerals match the handwritten character with rounded shapes and modest contrast, and punctuation such as the dot and colon appears clean and bold, supporting legibility in short phrases. Texture stays smooth at display sizes, while the condensed proportions make it well-suited to tighter layouts where a casual script is desired.
