A slender, handwritten script with a brisk rightward slant and a lightly brushed, monoline feel. Strokes are smooth and slightly tapering at terminals, with occasional pointed entries and exits that suggest quick pen movement. Letterforms are tall and compact, with small lowercase bodies and prominent ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, airy rhythm. Connections are suggested in the lowercase through flowing joins, while capitals are more freeform and signature-like, mixing looped strokes with simple, single-stem constructions.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text such as brand signatures, packaging accents, social posts, pull quotes, and casual invitations. It works best when given breathing room, where the tall proportions and lively joins can read clearly and contribute a personal, handwritten texture.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick note-taking or a modern signature. Its narrow, energetic rhythm reads as lively and contemporary rather than formal or ornamental, giving text a friendly, conversational voice.
Likely designed to capture an authentic, fast handwritten script with a clean, contemporary finish—prioritizing natural rhythm and a signature-like presence for modern display use.
Capitals are expressive and slightly inconsistent in structure in a natural handwriting way, which helps with authenticity but can make all-caps settings feel more gestural than uniform. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and light, quick terminals that keep the texture even in mixed alphanumeric settings.
