A tall, brush-pen styled handwritten script with narrow proportions and a gently uneven, organic rhythm. Strokes show soft, rounded terminals and subtle width modulation, with occasional swelling on downstrokes and lighter entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are mostly upright with a slight natural lean, and the baseline feels lightly bouncy rather than rigid. Counters are open and simplified, and many joins are suggested by continuous stroke flow, giving the alphabet a cohesive, drawn-by-hand consistency.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly, handwritten voice is desired—quotes, invitations, greeting cards, café-style signage, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It performs best at larger sizes where the brushy stroke modulation and tall, narrow forms can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone is relaxed and personable, like quick, confident handwriting done with a marker or brush pen. It reads energetic and approachable, with a spontaneous feel that suits informal, human-centered messaging rather than formal typography.
Likely designed to emulate quick brush-pen handwriting with a clean, legible flow, balancing informal charm with enough consistency for repeated use in branding and headline applications.
Capitals are tall and gestural, often using single-stroke constructions that emphasize verticality and movement. Descenders (such as in g, j, p, q, y) are long and fluid, adding a lively texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and slightly varied widths that reinforce the natural, non-mechanical character.
