A tall, right-leaning handwritten script with a loose, brush-pen feel and mostly monoline strokes that swell subtly on curves and joins. Letterforms are narrow and upright in structure but carried by an energetic slant, with long ascenders/descenders and a compact body height that makes the capitals feel prominent. Connections are fluid in running text, with open counters, rounded terminals, and occasional looped entries/exits that keep rhythm lively while remaining fairly consistent in stroke behavior.
Well suited to short headlines, social posts, packaging callouts, and casual branding where a human touch is desired. It also works for invitations, greeting cards, and quote graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the narrow proportions and looping joins can breathe.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting on a note or label. Its narrow, elastic rhythm and bouncy loops give it a light, upbeat character that reads as approachable rather than formal.
Designed to capture fast, natural handwriting in a polished, repeatable form: narrow, energetic, and legible enough for display text while preserving the spontaneity of a pen stroke.
Capitals show varied, gestural constructions with simple swashes and occasional hooked starts, helping them stand out without becoming ornate. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying slim and vertically oriented with minimal embellishment, which supports mixed text settings.
