A tall, right-leaning handwritten print with wiry strokes and an airy texture. Letterforms are narrow and upright in structure but consistently slanted, with slim bowls, long ascenders/descenders, and a notably small lowercase body compared to the capitals. Strokes show subtle pressure changes and slight wobble, producing a dry-pen, drawn-on-paper feel; terminals are often tapered and a bit hooked. Overall spacing is open and uneven in a natural way, reinforcing the hand-rendered rhythm across words and lines.
Works best where a human, handwritten impression is desirable—short headlines, quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and display copy. The thin strokes and small lowercase structure favor larger sizes and generous spacing, making it well-suited to posters and packaging accents rather than dense body text.
The tone is informal and personable, with a quick, sketch-like energy that feels spontaneous rather than polished. Its elongated shapes and looping gestures add a slightly theatrical, quirky character while staying readable in short phrases.
Designed to mimic fast, lightly pressured handwriting with tall proportions and playful loops, aiming for a personal note or hand-lettered caption feel. The consistent slant and narrow construction suggest an intent to stay legible while preserving the spontaneity of a drawn script.
Capitals tend to be especially tall and gestural, giving titles a distinctive, expressive silhouette. Numerals are simple and lightly drawn, matching the narrow, slanted construction of the letters.
