A slender, fast handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a lightly modulated stroke that feels pen-drawn rather than constructed. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous internal whitespace, relying on long ascenders/descenders and occasional looped entries to create an energetic rhythm. Terminals are mostly tapered and sharp, with intermittent ink-like flicks and slight irregularities that reinforce a natural, written texture. Capitals are larger and more expressive, often built from single sweeping strokes and open bowls, while lowercase forms stay compact and understated with minimal joining in running text.
This font suits short, expressive text such as brand marks, packaging accents, social posts, invitations, and pull quotes where a handwritten touch is desired. It performs best at larger sizes and in low-density settings, where the thin strokes and tall proportions can remain clear.
The overall tone is breezy and personal—more like quick, stylish handwriting than formal calligraphy. Its delicate build and high verticality give it a refined, fashion-adjacent feel, while the uneven stroke finishes keep it approachable and informal.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of everyday cursive while maintaining a polished, contemporary silhouette. Its narrow, elongated forms and restrained connections suggest a focus on stylish display typography rather than continuous handwriting for long paragraphs.
Spacing appears intentionally loose for a script, helping prevent collisions in narrow, tall shapes and keeping words readable at display sizes. Numerals share the same light, handwritten character and maintain the font’s slim proportions, making them feel cohesive in headings and short numeric callouts.
