A slender, fast handwritten script with a rightward slant and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes read as mostly even with subtle thick–thin changes from pen pressure, and curves are drawn with smooth, continuous motion. Proportions are tall and condensed, with long ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies, giving lines a vertical, elegant lift. Terminals are soft and tapered, and several capitals and lowercase letters feature gentle entry/exit strokes and occasional looped forms that enhance flow without becoming overly ornate.
Works well for short to medium-length display settings where a human, informal voice is desired—brand marks, product labels, invitations, social posts, and pull quotes. It can also serve as an accent in editorial or web layouts when paired with a more neutral text face.
The overall tone feels relaxed and personable, like neat handwriting used for notes or casual correspondence. Its light, open texture and looping gestures add a touch of charm and spontaneity while still reading clean and controlled.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick pen lettering while keeping letterforms consistent enough for repeated use. The narrow, tall proportions and light stroke presence aim to deliver an elegant handwritten look that stays readable in headlines and prominent captions.
Capitals tend to be more gestural and simplified than formal calligraphy, using single-stroke constructions and modest flourishes. Numerals share the same handwritten cadence and narrow stance, helping the set feel cohesive in mixed text.
