A slanted, brush-pen script with quick, gestural strokes and visibly textured edges. Letterforms are tall and compact with tight interior spacing, producing a dense rhythm in words while still keeping a lively baseline. Strokes show modest thick–thin movement driven by writing angle and pressure, with frequent tapered entries and sharp, flicked terminals. Connections are mostly implied rather than fully cursive throughout, giving the set a handwritten continuity without becoming overly looped or formal.
Best suited for short to medium-length display text where the brush texture and tight, tall forms can read clearly—posters, packaging labels, social graphics, and branding wordmarks. It can also work as an accent face in editorial layouts for pull quotes or subheads, especially when paired with a calmer serif or sans for body copy.
The font reads as spontaneous and human, with a brisk, note-taking energy. Its roughened brush texture and brisk joins evoke a relaxed, slightly retro sign-paint/marker feel rather than polished calligraphy. Overall tone is friendly and informal, with an assertive snap in the terminals that adds emphasis.
Designed to capture the immediacy of fast brush handwriting in a compact, upright-leaning silhouette, balancing expressive texture with enough consistency for repeated use in display settings. The goal appears to be a personable, energetic script that feels handmade while remaining practical for contemporary headlines and identity work.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified, single-stroke constructions and can appear more dramatic than the lowercase, which helps create natural emphasis in mixed-case text. The numerals follow the same brisk, handwritten logic and maintain the same angled, tapered finishes, supporting consistent styling in headings or short numeric callouts.
