A tall, right-slanted handwritten brush style with narrow proportions and lively, variable stroke edges. The letterforms show dry-brush texture and occasional rough tapering at stroke starts and ends, creating a slightly scratchy, ink-on-paper feel. Capitals are long and prominent, with simplified, open shapes, while lowercase forms are compact with a notably short x-height and frequent ascenders that extend well above the body. Spacing and widths vary naturally, reinforcing the hand-drawn rhythm while staying consistent enough for line setting in short text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, social graphics, packaging callouts, and branding accents where a hand-rendered, energetic voice is desired. It performs especially well for short phrases, quotes, and logotype-style wordmarks at medium to large sizes where the dry-brush detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, with a quick marker/brush energy that feels human, spontaneous, and slightly rugged. Its slant and tall silhouettes add momentum, making it feel conversational and expressive rather than careful or formal.
The design appears intended to capture a fast, confident brush-pen handwriting look with tall, narrow gestures and visible texture, balancing expressive irregularities with repeatable shapes for practical display typography.
The texture is a defining feature: strokes often look slightly broken or grainy, which adds character at display sizes but can reduce clarity when small or tightly tracked. The numerals match the same brushy cadence and lean, keeping the set visually cohesive.
