A tall, slender handwritten script with a loose, flowing rhythm and noticeable stroke modulation. Letterforms are predominantly upright with narrow proportions, long ascenders/descenders, and compact lowercase bodies that create a delicate vertical texture. Strokes taper into pointed or brush-like terminals, with occasional looped entries and subtle joining between letters, giving it an organic, drawn-with-a-pen character rather than a rigid calligraphic construction.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its thin strokes and narrow build can remain clear—such as headlines, logos/wordmarks, packaging accents, invitations, and quote graphics. It can add a handwritten signature-like touch to labels and social posts, but will typically want larger sizes and comfortable spacing for legibility.
The overall tone feels light and personable, balancing elegance with a casual, slightly playful spontaneity. Its narrow, towering shapes and tapered ends read as refined and airy, while the irregularities and lively loops keep it friendly and expressive.
Designed to capture a fast, stylish handwritten look with a refined vertical silhouette—combining expressive pen movement, tapered terminals, and subtle connections to convey an informal script personality with a polished edge.
Caps are especially tall and linear, often built from single sweeping strokes, and stand out strongly against the smaller lowercase. The numerals follow the same handwritten logic with narrow, elongated forms, making them feel consistent with the letter set and suited to display use.
