A slender, handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, pen-like strokes. Letterforms are tall and compact, with long ascenders and descenders that give lines a vertical rhythm, while counters stay relatively open for a light, breathable texture. Strokes are mostly even with subtle swelling at curves and turns, and terminals often taper or finish with a small flick. Connections are implied by the cursive construction, but many letters remain semi-joined, creating a lively, handwritten cadence rather than strict continuous linking.
Works well for short to medium-length display settings where a personal, handwritten feel is desired—logos, boutique branding, product labels, quotes, and social content. It can also suit invitations and greeting-style layouts when given generous line spacing to accommodate the tall extenders.
The overall tone feels informal and approachable, like quick note-taking or a personal signature. Its narrow, upright energy reads nimble and modern, with a gentle elegance that stays relaxed rather than formal.
Designed to capture a clean, fast handwritten script that feels authentic and readable while retaining the spontaneity of pen strokes. The condensed proportions and lively rhythm suggest an intention to fit expressive lettering into tight spaces without becoming heavy.
Uppercase forms are simple and gestural, relying on sweeping entry/exit strokes and occasional loops for character. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying light and slightly condensed, and they harmonize well with the lowercase in texture and slant.
