A slim, handwritten script with a fast, pen-drawn rhythm and a predominantly monoline stroke. Letterforms are steeply slanted with tall ascenders and descenders, compact bowls, and a notably small lowercase body that makes capitals feel prominent. Strokes show subtle wobble and occasional roughness at joins and terminals, giving a slightly raw, unpolished texture. Spacing and widths are uneven in a natural way, with a lively baseline drift and inconsistent stroke endings that reinforce the hand-made character.
Best suited for short, expressive settings such as logo lockups, signature lines, product labels, headlines, invitations, and social media graphics. It also works well when layered over photography or paired with a calm sans for contrast, where its lively texture can provide a human, editorial accent.
The overall tone feels personal and spontaneous—like quick notes, signatures, or brush-pen journaling. Its scratchy refinement reads modern and stylish rather than formal, with a hint of grit that adds attitude and energy.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick handwriting while staying elegant enough for contemporary display use. The narrow, slanted forms and lightly distressed stroke behavior appear intended to add personality and motion to titles and brand phrases without relying on heavy ornament.
Uppercase letters are tall and airy, with simple, open constructions that keep them legible despite the narrow proportions. Lowercase forms are more abbreviated and minimal, with long, delicate extenders (notably in letters like g, j, y) that add vertical movement. Numerals match the same handwritten cadence and remain light and unobtrusive.
