A tall, monoline handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and narrow letterforms. Strokes are smooth and lightly textured, with rounded terminals and occasional looped ascenders and descenders that create a wiry, elongated silhouette. Proportions emphasize long verticals and compact bowls, with modest crossbars and open counters that keep the texture light and breathable. Spacing is uneven in a natural way, and connections between letters appear intermittent rather than fully continuous, preserving a drawn-by-hand rhythm.
Best suited to short to medium-length display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as headlines, pull quotes, greeting cards, invitations, packaging callouts, and social posts. It can also work for brand accents or signatures when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick handwriting on a note or label. Its slender, looping forms add a slightly playful, whimsical character while still reading cleanly at display sizes. The energetic slant and tall proportions give it a lively, conversational feel.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick pen handwriting with a tall, elegant gesture and minimal stroke contrast. The letterforms prioritize expressiveness and flow over strict regularity, aiming for an authentic, approachable handwritten look in display contexts.
Uppercase letters are simplified and upright-leaning with minimal ornament, while several lowercase forms feature distinctive long descenders and looped strokes that add movement in text. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with thin, open shapes and a lightly bouncing baseline impression.
