A tall, slender handwritten script with a quick, pen-drawn rhythm and gently right-leaning motion. Strokes stay mostly even with subtle pressure changes, ending in tapered terminals and occasional flicks. Letterforms are simplified and open, with narrow bowls and compact joins; many connections are implied rather than fully cursive, helping the texture stay light and uncluttered. Ascenders and descenders are notably long, giving the line a vertical, airy silhouette and plenty of white space between strokes.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display copy where a personal, handcrafted tone is desired—brand wordmarks, packaging callouts, quote graphics, invitations, and lifestyle or beauty marketing. It also works for headings and pull quotes when given enough tracking/line height to preserve its airy stroke texture.
The font reads as informal and personal, like neat notes written with a fine-tip pen, while the tall proportions add a touch of elegance. Its slightly bouncy spacing and varied joins keep it friendly and human rather than polished or mechanical. Overall it conveys a modern, relaxed hand with a confident, expressive flow.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, legible handwriting with a refined vertical elegance—prioritizing expressiveness and a light touch over strict uniformity. It balances readability with a natural, drawn quality for modern display use.
In text settings, the narrow widths and extended ascenders create a distinctive, spiky skyline that benefits from comfortable line spacing. The numerals share the same handwritten simplicity and upright clarity, matching the letterforms without becoming heavy or ornamental.
