A slanted, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and mostly monoline strokes that swell slightly on curves and downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and compressed, with a quick, gesture-driven rhythm and softly tapered terminals. Counters are open and simplified, and stroke joins are smooth rather than constructed, giving the set an organic, slightly uneven texture. Capitals are larger and more expressive than the lowercase, and numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten proportions.
Works well for short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, packaging accents, and social graphics where a casual handwritten voice is desired. It can also suit branding elements that want a personal, note-like impression, especially at larger sizes where the tapered terminals and brush texture are most apparent.
The font reads as informal and personable, like quick marker or brush notes. Its narrow, energetic cadence adds a lively tone that feels friendly and approachable rather than polished or formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick cursive writing with a brush or marker, prioritizing expressive rhythm and a human, imperfect flow over strict geometric consistency. The condensed proportions help deliver an energetic handwritten look while keeping lines of text relatively compact.
Spacing and alignment feel intentionally loose, with small variations in stroke finish and curvature that reinforce a hand-drawn character. The narrow silhouettes help longer words stay compact, while the lively stroke endings keep headlines from feeling rigid.
