A tall, slender handwritten script with a monoline feel and slightly wavering stroke edges that preserve the texture of pen-on-paper writing. Letterforms are strongly right-slanted with long ascenders and descenders, compact counters, and a lively baseline that gently rises and falls. Connections are implied more than fully cursive—many letters appear drawn as quick single strokes with occasional joins, simple entry/exit strokes, and minimal terminal ornamentation. Spacing is open and uneven in a natural way, with narrow overall set width and noticeable per-glyph width variation typical of handwriting.
Works best for short-to-medium copy where a handwritten voice is desired—quotes, invitations, greeting cards, labels, and social graphics. It can also suit posters and packaging accents when set at larger sizes, where the thin strokes and narrow proportions remain clear.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick notes or hand-lettered captions. Its thin, tall rhythm feels lighthearted and slightly quirky, giving text a breezy, human presence rather than a polished calligraphic finish.
Designed to emulate a quick, legible handwritten script with a tall, narrow silhouette and natural irregularities. The intent appears to prioritize personality and speed-of-writing character over strict geometric consistency, making it feel authentic and approachable.
Capitals are especially elongated and gestural, helping create a strong vertical rhythm in headlines. Numerals share the same narrow, handwritten construction, and punctuation-like strokes in the samples reinforce a fast, sketchy writing pace.
