A flowing handwritten script with a brisk rightward slant and slender, tapered strokes that suggest a pen or brush. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a compact lowercase body and prominent ascenders and descenders, creating a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes show subtle modulation and occasional dry-brush texture at terminals, with frequent entry/exit strokes that loosely connect in text while still allowing some breaks between letters. Capitals are expressive but restrained, using simple swells and occasional cross-stroke flourishes rather than heavy ornament.
This style works best for short, expressive settings such as invitations, greeting cards, product packaging, pull quotes, and branding accents where a personal handwritten feel is desired. It is particularly effective at display sizes where the tapered terminals and flourishes can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels personal and lyrical, like quick calligraphy for invitations or notes. Its delicate stroke endings and airy spacing give it an elegant, slightly vintage character, while the informal joins keep it approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of quick, pen-written cursive while maintaining enough consistency to work as a cohesive text face for short passages. Its narrow, tall proportions and extended strokes aim to add elegance and motion without relying on heavy ornamentation.
In running text, the long extenders and narrow proportions create a lively, bouncing baseline and a strong cursive rhythm. The numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and light terminal flicks that match the lettering.
