A slanted, handwritten script with a lightly brushed, mostly monoline stroke and occasional tapered terminals. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with generous ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, rhythmic texture. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, giving words a quick, penned feel while maintaining clear character separation. Curves are smooth and elastic, and capitals feature simple swashes and open counters that keep the overall silhouette airy.
Well-suited for short, prominent text such as signatures, headings, pull quotes, and event materials where a personal touch is desired. It can also work on packaging or branding accents when used at comfortable sizes with ample tracking, especially where the tall, narrow rhythm can breathe.
The tone is relaxed and personal, like quick note-taking with a fine brush pen, but with enough refinement to feel stylish. Its narrow, high-reaching forms add a graceful, slightly dramatic cadence that reads as modern and expressive rather than formal.
Designed to mimic a swift cursive hand with brush-pen sensitivity, emphasizing a tall, slender rhythm and expressive loops. The goal appears to be an informal, human tone with enough polish for display use.
Spacing appears intentionally uneven in a naturalistic way, with variable letter widths and a hand-drawn baseline liveliness that becomes more apparent in longer lines. Numerals and uppercase forms echo the same slender, stroked construction, keeping the set visually consistent in mixed content.
