A tall, condensed handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and lightly varied stroke thickness. Letterforms are mostly upright with gentle, rhythmic curves and rounded terminals, mixing occasional connects with many single-stroke, lifted forms for a natural hand-drawn cadence. Ascenders are long and prominent, while the lowercase is compact, creating a high vertical emphasis and a lively, slightly irregular baseline. Counters are open and simplified, and the overall texture stays clean and legible despite the informal construction.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a human, conversational voice is desired—headlines, pull quotes, greeting cards, invites, social graphics, and brand accents. It can also work on packaging and labels when a friendly handmade tone is appropriate, especially at display sizes where its slim proportions and tall ascenders can breathe.
The font reads as warm and approachable, with a spontaneous, personable energy. Its narrow, elongated shapes and soft curves give it a light, upbeat tone suited to informal messaging and expressive headings.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, modern handwriting with a brush-pen touch—balancing legibility with an informal, personal character. Its condensed, vertically oriented rhythm helps it feel contemporary and space-efficient while still retaining the spontaneity of hand lettering.
Caps have a simple, signature-like construction with a few flamboyant forms (notably in letters like J, Q, and Y), while lowercase features occasional loops and entry/exit strokes that suggest quick pen movement. Numerals are straightforward and handwritten in spirit, matching the same tall, narrow rhythm as the letters.
