A slanted brush-script with a fast, hand-drawn rhythm and visibly textured stroke edges. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning with tight counters, long sweeping entry/exit strokes, and occasional sharp turns that give the linework a lively snap. Stroke weight varies within each character, creating strong emphasis on downstrokes and tapered hairline transitions, while spacing stays relatively tight for a cohesive, continuous word shape.
Best suited for short display text where personality matters—logos, product packaging, posters, event promos, headlines, and social graphics. The bold, brushy strokes help it hold up over textured backgrounds, while the tight, cursive flow works well for punchy phrases and names. For longer passages or small sizes, the dense script texture may reduce clarity, so pairing with a simple sans for body text is a strong fit.
The overall tone feels informal and energetic, like confident marker lettering done in one take. Its roughened brush texture adds a slightly gritty, streetwise character, while the flowing joins keep it friendly and personable. The result is expressive and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting in a controlled, repeatable font, emphasizing speed, contrast, and expressive motion. The intention appears to be a contemporary casual script that delivers impact and authenticity, with just enough roughness to feel handmade while remaining consistent across the set.
Uppercase forms are especially gestural, with simplified constructions and extended diagonals that push the script feel even when letters are not fully connected. Lowercase maintains a consistent forward motion with looped ascenders/descenders and compact bowls, supporting quick reading at display sizes. Numerals follow the same brush behavior, with cursive-like movement and tapered terminals.
