A lively brush-script with a strong rightward slant and quick, tapered stroke endings. Letterforms show medium stroke contrast with frequent dry-brush texture and occasional ink breaks, giving a distinctly handmade feel. The rhythm is bouncy and irregular in a controlled way, with narrow proportions, tight counters, and compact lowercase shapes; capitals are taller and more flourished, often built from single sweeping strokes. Joins appear intermittently, while many letters read as separate brush-written forms with consistent angle and momentum across the set.
Well-suited for short, attention-grabbing lines such as posters, cover titles, packaging callouts, brand marks, and social graphics. It performs best when given room to breathe and sized large enough for the brush texture to read clearly, rather than in long body copy.
The font conveys an upbeat, informal tone—like fast marker lettering on a sign or a personal note written with confidence. Its textured strokes and brisk slant add spontaneity and friendliness, leaning more expressive than refined.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush lettering in a consistent, reusable typeface—favoring momentum, texture, and expressive silhouettes over formal calligraphic precision.
Texture is a defining feature: thick strokes often contain lighter interior streaks that mimic brush bristles, which becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. The figures follow the same gestural logic, with open, handwritten forms that prioritize movement over strict uniformity.
