A brisk, slanted handwritten script with a monoline feel and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with generous internal space and open counters that keep the texture light. Strokes move in long, sweeping gestures, and connections are intermittent rather than fully continuous, producing a lively rhythm similar to rapid pen writing. Uppercase forms are simplified and slightly oversized, while lowercase shows compact bodies with tall ascenders and long, clean descenders.
Works well for signatures, short headlines, pull quotes, and personal branding where an authentic handwritten feel is desired. It can also suit packaging accents and social media graphics, especially when set with ample tracking and moderate line spacing to preserve its airy rhythm.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like a quick note or signature-style caption. Its loose, flowing motion reads friendly and relaxed without becoming overly decorative, lending a conversational, everyday character.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident handwriting with a clean, modern smoothness. The emphasis appears to be on speed and legibility through simple forms, restrained ornamentation, and consistent stroke weight.
Spacing appears slightly irregular in an intentional, handwritten way, contributing to a natural cadence in longer text. Numerals are slender and simple, matching the letter stroke behavior and maintaining the same forward-leaning momentum.
