A slanted brush-script with tapered entry and exit strokes, rounded turns, and occasional looped forms. Strokes show noticeable modulation from pressure, with slightly textured, marker-like terminals and a generally smooth, fast rhythm. Letterforms are compact and tall, with long ascenders and descenders and a tight, efficient horizontal footprint. Connections appear selective rather than fully continuous, creating a handwritten flow while preserving clear character boundaries in many words.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display settings such as packaging, café or lifestyle branding, posters, social media graphics, invitations, and pull quotes where a handcrafted accent is desired. It performs best at larger sizes where the tapered strokes and subtle texture remain clear and the lively rhythm can lead the line.
The font conveys an informal, personal tone—confident and energetic, like quick note-taking or a bold signature. Its brisk slant and punchy stroke endings give it a lively, contemporary feel that reads friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident brush handwriting with enough consistency to set readable phrases while retaining spontaneous, human irregularities. It prioritizes energy and personality over strict formality, offering a bold handwritten voice for contemporary display typography.
Capitals have a simple, gestural construction with a few decorative swashes, while lowercase forms lean on single-storey shapes and open counters for speed and clarity. Numerals follow the same brush rhythm, with slightly stylized curves and angled stress that match the script texture.
