A handwritten cursive with a fine, inked stroke and pronounced contrast between hairlines and heavier downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and slender with a generally upright stance, showing a lively, irregular rhythm and variable stroke pressure that suggests a pen or brush tip. Terminals often taper to sharp points, with occasional hooked or spur-like endings, while bowls and loops stay narrow and airy. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, contributing to an organic texture; lowercase ascenders are especially long, and the x-height reads comparatively small against the ascenders and capitals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its delicate contrast and lively irregularities can be appreciated, such as headlines, greeting cards and invitations, packaging labels, posters, and book or chapter titles. In longer passages it will read more like decorative handwriting, making it most effective when used sparingly or at comfortable sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels playful and slightly gothic-storybook: elegant in its thin strokes, but mischievous in its flicks, spikes, and uneven cadence. It reads as personal and illustrative rather than formal, with a charming, handmade spontaneity.
Designed to capture the feel of quick, expressive pen lettering with a refined, high-contrast stroke and narrow proportions. The intent appears to be a distinctive, personality-forward script that adds handcrafted character and a slightly theatrical edge to display typography.
Capitals tend to be simple, narrow silhouettes with minimal ornament, while lowercase letters introduce more looping and flourish, particularly in tall letters like f, g, j, and y. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with light, tapered strokes and subtle quirks, keeping the set cohesive in running text.
