A tall, slender handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and quick, brushlike stroke endings. Letterforms are built from narrow, upright stems and tight counters, with occasional looping joins and elastic transitions between thick-and-thin strokes. The texture is slightly rough and organic, with tapered terminals and sporadic ink-like irregularities that keep lines lively. Capitals are elongated and gestural, while lowercase forms stay compact with relatively small bowls and short interior height, creating a vertical, condensed rhythm.
Best suited to short, expressive settings such as packaging labels, posters, social graphics, invitations, and display headlines where a handmade voice is desired. It can also work for brief pull quotes or signatures, while longer paragraphs may benefit from generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels informal and human, like fast pen or brush lettering in a notebook or on a label. Its energetic loops and spiky verticals give it a spirited, slightly gritty charm that reads as handcrafted rather than polished.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of real handwriting—tall, narrow, and quickly drawn—while maintaining consistent rhythm across an alphabet for repeatable typographic use. Its textured, tapered strokes suggest an aim for a natural, brush-pen feel with expressive capitals and compact lowercase forms.
Word shapes lean strongly vertical, and the spacing appears to vary in a natural, handwritten way, which can create a dynamic rhythm in longer lines. Numerals follow the same lean and narrow build, matching the script’s quick, sketched character.
