A slanted, pen-drawn script with a quick, single-stroke feel and gently tapering terminals. Forms are tall and lean, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body, creating a lot of vertical motion. Strokes keep a smooth rhythm with occasional pressure-like thickening at curves and joins, and many letters show simplified connections and open counters for speed. Capitals are larger and more gestural, featuring sweeping entry strokes and occasional cross-through flourishes that add emphasis without becoming overly ornate.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where personality matters more than strict regularity—logos, boutique packaging, café menus, invitations, pull quotes, and social graphics. It performs best at display sizes or generous leading, where the tall proportions and fine strokes can breathe.
The overall tone is informal and personal, like brisk handwriting used for notes, signatures, or casual branding. Its energetic slant and long, flowing strokes lend a lightly refined, fashion-forward feel while still reading as spontaneous and human.
Likely designed to capture fast, stylish handwriting with an emphasis on vertical elegance and a fluid baseline rhythm. The set balances readability with expressive stroke flourishes, aiming for a modern, personal script that feels authentic rather than polished to geometric perfection.
Letterspacing appears naturally uneven in a handwritten way, with some tighter joins and some open gaps that enhance the made-by-hand character. Numerals follow the same quick, airy construction and feel cohesive with the alphabet, especially in contexts where a handwritten tone is desired.
