A fast, slanted handwritten script with a lightly brushed, mostly single-stroke feel and occasional pressure swelling at turns and terminals. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning in structure but set on a consistent rightward slant, with tall ascenders/descenders and a notably small lowercase core. Strokes taper into sharp, flicked terminals, and many joins are implied by close spacing rather than strict continuous connections, creating a fluid but sketch-like rhythm. Capitals are simplified and tall, often built from sweeping entry strokes, while numerals match the same quick, calligraphic construction.
Well suited to short, expressive settings such as signatures, invitations, greeting lines, pull quotes, and lifestyle packaging where a personal, handwritten voice is desired. It works best at medium to larger sizes where the delicate strokes and compact lowercase can remain clear.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick notes written with a fine pen. Its airy construction and flicked endings add a light elegance, while the uneven joins and energetic motion keep it relaxed rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, natural cursive writing with a refined slant and minimal ornamentation, balancing legibility with the spontaneous character of real pen marks.
Spacing appears tight and the narrow proportions can create a compressed word shape, especially in all-caps. The small lowercase bodies paired with long extenders emphasize vertical movement, giving lines a lively, handwritten texture.
