A slender, right-slanted handwritten script with smooth, continuous strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are tall and narrow with a lively baseline bounce and compact counters, giving the alphabet a quick, sketch-like rhythm. Connections appear naturally in running text, while capitals remain more standalone and gestural, featuring open curves and occasional looped entrances. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, flowing shapes and minimal ornament.
Well suited for short-to-medium display settings where a personal, handwritten feel is desired—such as signatures, pull quotes, cards and invitations, boutique packaging, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings or subheads when you want a light, flowing accent over a more neutral text face.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, like neat handwriting done with a fine pen. Its narrow, energetic rhythm feels contemporary-casual with a hint of retro signature style, conveying speed, spontaneity, and approachability rather than formality.
The design appears intended to capture fast, legible penmanship with a graceful slant and minimal fuss, balancing everyday readability with expressive loops and a lively cadence for branding and display use.
In longer lines, the texture stays light and open, with noticeable slant consistency and slightly variable letter widths that keep the flow organic. The tight interior spaces and tall proportions emphasize vertical movement, while looped forms (notably in letters like g, y, and Q) add personality and motion.
