A tall, condensed handwritten script with monoline strokes and a slightly restless, pen-drawn rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with long ascenders and descenders that create a strong up-and-down cadence. Curves are slim and elastic, terminals are mostly rounded or lightly tapered, and joins appear intermittent—some pairs connect while others break, preserving a spontaneous handwriting feel. Capitals are slender and simplified, while the lowercase relies on looped strokes and narrow counters; figures are similarly tall and streamlined.
Best suited to short, expressive text where a handwritten voice is desirable—logos and boutique branding, packaging callouts, invitations and greeting cards, quote graphics, and headers. It can work as a secondary accent font alongside a simpler sans for readability in mixed layouts.
The font reads as informal and personal, like quick journaling or a handwritten note. Its skinny proportions and looping motion give it a light, energetic tone with a slightly eccentric charm rather than polished formality.
The design appears intended to capture a natural, quick handwritten signature-like style while staying consistently narrow and upright for compact headlines. Its tall proportions and looping cursive structure prioritize personality and motion over text-face neutrality.
Because the x-height is notably small relative to the ascenders, the overall texture is airy but can feel delicate at small sizes. The narrow construction and tight internal spaces suggest careful attention to line spacing and background contrast in longer passages.
