A wiry, handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a tall, condensed silhouette. Strokes are generally thin and pen-like with subtle contrast and occasional sharp terminals, giving letters a slightly scratchy edge. Uppercase forms are narrow and elongated with open counters, while lowercase is small relative to the capitals, creating a high ascender/descender rhythm and a delicate baseline presence. Spacing feels irregular in a natural way, and the figures mirror the same narrow, hand-drawn construction with airy interiors.
Well-suited for short, personality-forward settings such as branding accents, poster headlines, packaging copy, social graphics, and pull quotes. The narrow, tall construction can work effectively where vertical emphasis and a handcrafted feel are desired, especially at display sizes.
The overall tone is informal and kinetic, suggesting quick, personal handwriting with a slightly edgy, improvised character. It reads as contemporary and indie-leaning rather than formal calligraphic, with just enough roughness to feel lived-in and human.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of quick pen lettering in a condensed, display-friendly form, emphasizing individuality through irregular stroke edges and a lively, slanted rhythm.
Letterforms show a mix of rounded bowls and abrupt, tapered joins, producing a lively texture in text lines. The sample lines reveal noticeable variation in stroke pressure and micro-wobble, which adds personality but benefits from generous size and leading for best clarity.
