A tall, slanted handwritten script with a mostly monoline feel and subtle stroke modulation. The letterforms are narrow and upright in structure despite the italic angle, with long ascenders and descenders that create a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes taper at joins and terminals, and many capitals feature looped or swashed entry strokes, while lowercase forms stay relatively simple and quick. Spacing is light and variable, with a flowing baseline and occasional disconnected joins that preserve a natural, handwritten cadence.
Well suited to short, expressive text such as invitations, greeting cards, packaging accents, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It works especially well at display sizes where the slim strokes, tall extenders, and looping capitals can read clearly and contribute to the handmade character.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick marker or pen lettering used in a note or on a label. Its narrow, energetic forms feel nimble and personable, leaning more conversational than formal. The looping capitals add a touch of charm and expressiveness without becoming overly ornamental.
Designed to capture the immediacy of casual cursive handwriting while maintaining a cohesive rhythm across the alphabet. The emphasis on narrow proportions, tall extenders, and looped capitals suggests an intent to provide an expressive signature-like voice for headlines and short phrases.
Uppercase letters show the strongest personality through loops and occasional flourish-like strokes, while the lowercase set remains compact with very short x-height and prominent extenders. Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten logic and keep a consistent, lightly tapered stroke presence.
