A tall, loosely written script with a brisk rightward slant and an airy, open rhythm. Strokes read mostly monoline with subtle pressure variation, and terminals often taper into quick hooks. The letterforms are narrow and vertical in their overall footprint, with long ascenders and descenders that add a lively, wiry texture. Connections are suggested by the cursive construction, but joins are inconsistent in a natural, handwritten way, producing a sketchy, energetic word shape.
Works well for signatures, personal branding, packaging accents, and social posts where a handwritten feel is desired. It’s best used at display sizes for short phrases, names, and callouts, where the tall loops and quick terminals can read clearly and add character.
The tone feels informal and personable, like quick notes in a journal or a casual signature. Its lanky proportions and springy curves give it a light, upbeat character that leans modern and approachable rather than formal or traditional.
Designed to capture the immediacy of fast, confident handwriting—prioritizing gesture, rhythm, and personality over strict uniformity. The narrow, elongated forms and subtle stroke liveliness aim to create distinctive word shapes that feel human and spontaneous.
Capitals are expressive and occasionally oversized, helping create strong entry points for headlines and names. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same swift, handwritten cadence, with some deliberate irregularity that enhances authenticity. The overall color stays light and open, making spacing and word rhythm a defining feature.
