A lively, brush-pen style script with a pronounced rightward slant and high-contrast strokes that taper to pointed terminals. Letterforms are narrow and upright in their internal structure, with quick entry/exit strokes and occasional looped joins that give the line a continuous, written rhythm. Capitals are tall and gestural with simplified calligraphic construction, while lowercase forms stay compact with modest counters and a slightly bouncy baseline feel. Numerals follow the same drawn, tapered logic, mixing rounded shapes with sharp turns and narrow proportions.
Best suited for short-form display use where the expressive brush texture can read clearly—logos, labels, product packaging, social posts, headlines, and pull quotes. It can also work for casual invitations and greeting designs, especially when paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone feels personal and upbeat, like quick confident handwriting done with a flexible marker. Its energetic strokes and looping forms convey warmth and informality, leaning toward a modern craft-and-lifestyle aesthetic rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to capture the immediacy of handwritten brush lettering in a cohesive alphabet, emphasizing motion, contrast, and narrow, space-efficient forms that stay expressive in titles and prominent messaging.
Stroke endings often finish in fine points or small flicks, and curves show subtle pressure changes that create a dynamic texture at larger sizes. Spacing appears intentionally tight in places to preserve the handwritten flow, which can increase the sense of momentum in words and short phrases.
