A compact, slanted brush-script with thick, rounded strokes and subtly tapered terminals that suggest a marker or brush-pen. Letterforms are narrow and vertically economical, with quick curves, tight counters, and occasional looped joins that keep words moving forward. Strokes stay consistently weighty while allowing small pressure-like variations, and the rhythm is lively rather than perfectly even, reinforcing a hand-drawn feel across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where its brushy motion and dense weight can do the work—headlines, posters, product packaging, social graphics, and branding lockups. It also works well for quotes, menu callouts, and labels when set with generous tracking or paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, like fast, confident handwriting used for emphasis. It reads friendly and approachable, with a slightly dramatic flair from the steep slant and bold, sweeping curves. The vibe lands in the space between sporty and crafty—personal, energetic, and attention-seeking without feeling ornate.
Designed to capture the look of fast, expressive handwriting with a bold brush-pen presence, prioritizing momentum and personality over formal calligraphic structure. The narrow, slanted build helps it stack tightly in display settings while still delivering a strong handwritten signature.
Capitals tend to be large and gestural with prominent entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms remain compact and tightly spaced, which can make dense text feel busy at small sizes. Numerals follow the same cursive, handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and brisk stroke endings that match the letterforms.
