A lively handwritten script with a tall, narrow stance and crisp high-contrast strokes that mimic pressure from a brush pen. Letterforms are mostly upright with a gentle forward energy, mixing smooth curves with occasional sharp terminals and tapered entries/exits. The rhythm is bouncy and irregular in a controlled way, with compact counters, long ascenders, and relatively small lowercase bodies that keep the texture light. Connections are fluid in lowercase, while capitals often stand as more decorative, looped initials that add emphasis without overwhelming the line.
Well suited to branding marks, packaging labels, social posts, and headline treatments where a personable, handcrafted voice is needed. It also works for invitations, greeting cards, and short quotes when set with generous spacing and ample size to let the stroke contrast and loops stay clear.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick, confident handwriting used for notes, invitations, or boutique branding. Its thin-to-thick movement and looping forms create a charming, slightly whimsical personality that feels personal rather than polished.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of brush-and-ink handwriting in a narrow, space-efficient script, balancing legibility with expressive stroke modulation and decorative capitals for emphasis.
The digit set follows the same handwritten logic with narrow proportions and simple, slightly stylized shapes. In running text, the contrast and tight proportions produce an airy color at larger sizes, while the lively stroke endings and occasional exaggerated loops make it most comfortable as a display or short-text face.
