A tall, quick handwritten script with a pronounced forward slant and energetic, brush-like strokes. Letterforms are slender with lively, uneven rhythm and frequent stroke tapering, creating a hand-drawn texture even when used in longer text. Ascenders are long and prominent, while lowercase bodies stay small, emphasizing a vertical, willowy silhouette. Connections appear intermittently, with many characters joining naturally while others remain slightly separated, reinforcing an informal, written-by-hand feel.
Works best for short to medium text where a personal, informal voice is desired—quotes, greeting cards, invitations, product packaging, and social media graphics. It can also function as a distinctive headline or subhead when paired with a calmer sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is friendly and spontaneous, like rapid note-taking with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its narrow, upright energy and occasional loops give it a youthful, conversational character suited to expressive, personal messaging.
Likely designed to capture the speed and personality of casual handwriting in a clean, legible way, emphasizing tall proportions, dynamic stroke movement, and an expressive baseline flow suitable for contemporary lifestyle design.
Caps are simple and linear, relying on height and gesture more than ornament, while many lowercase shapes use open counters and light terminal flicks. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with slender forms and soft curves, maintaining consistency with the letter rhythm.
