A lively cursive script with a brush-pen feel, showing pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes taper into fine hairlines at entry and exit points, with rounded turns and occasional looped constructions that keep the rhythm fluid. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with simplified, calligraphic structures, while lowercase letters sit low with compact bodies and frequent ascenders/descenders that add vertical sparkle. Spacing is fairly tight and the letterforms connect or nearly connect in running text, producing a continuous, handwritten flow.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as logos, product labels, café or boutique branding, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It also works for headlines and pull quotes where a handmade, personal tone is desired, especially when set with generous line spacing to preserve its airy loops and contrast.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick lettering made with a flexible marker. Its bouncy motion and playful loops read as informal and approachable, with a slightly whimsical, note-to-a-friend character rather than a formal calligraphic script.
Likely designed to capture the spontaneity of modern brush lettering in a cohesive, font-ready script. The narrow, slanted forms and strong contrast aim to deliver an energetic handwritten voice that feels authentic and contemporary in display typography.
The contrast and tapered terminals create a crisp, inky texture at display sizes, while the narrow proportions allow longer words to stay compact. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, rounded shapes and a casual rhythm that matches the letters.
