A flowing handwritten script with a consistent monoline stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and slender with generous ascenders and occasional extended entry/exit strokes, giving lines a lively, forward motion. Curves are open and rounded, with looped constructions appearing in several capitals and select lowercase, and spacing that breathes—creating a light, airy texture. Connection behavior is informal: many letters link naturally in words, while others read as discrete strokes, producing a varied, handwritten rhythm rather than strict continuous joining.
Well-suited for signature-style logotypes, invitations and event materials, boutique branding, and short headline or pull-quote settings where a personal touch is desired. It performs best when given room to breathe (moderate tracking and comfortable line spacing), and is especially effective at medium-to-large sizes where its loops and rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels intimate and stylish—like quick, confident pen lettering used for signatures or personal notes. Its tall proportions and occasional swashes add a touch of sophistication, while the slightly irregular joining and bounce keep it approachable and human.
Designed to emulate natural pen-written cursive with a refined, elongated silhouette, balancing elegant gesture with an informal handwritten cadence. The intent appears to be quick, graceful communication that reads as personal and expressive rather than typographically rigid.
Capitals tend to be more expressive and gestural than the lowercase, with a few forms featuring prominent loops and long lead-in strokes that can become visual focal points at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying simple and upright-in-spirit while matching the script’s slanted movement.
