A tall, condensed handwritten script with a slight rightward slant and mostly monoline strokes that swell subtly at curves and terminals. Letterforms are built from quick, continuous-looking strokes with rounded joins, occasional loops, and lightly tapered ends that mimic a felt-tip or brush pen. Capitals are prominent and narrow with simplified structure, while lowercase forms stay compact and upright-on-an-angle, creating a tight rhythm and an uneven, organic baseline typical of natural handwriting. Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten construction with simple, open shapes and minimal ornament.
Well suited to short, expressive text such as logos, product labels, posters, social media graphics, and quote treatments where a handwritten voice is desirable. It works best at medium to large sizes, where the narrow proportions and quick stroke details remain clear.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick notes, captions, or journal headings. Its lively stroke rhythm and condensed verticality give it an energetic, slightly whimsical character without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture a fast, authentic handwriting feel with a modern, condensed footprint. The goal appears to be a casual script that adds personality and motion while staying legible and space-efficient in display applications.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and variable, with some glyphs showing distinct entry/exit strokes that suggest occasional connective behavior in words. The set leans on vertical momentum—tall ascenders and compact lowercase—so texture becomes darker and more concentrated as size decreases.
