A compact, brush-pen script with thick, rounded strokes and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are generally narrow with tall ascenders and descenders, giving the line a vertical, lively rhythm. Terminals are softly tapered and slightly blobby, suggesting a felt-tip or marker texture, and joins in the lowercase connect fluidly while retaining small irregularities typical of hand lettering. Capitals are simplified and upright-leaning with smooth curves, and numerals follow the same narrow, softly rounded construction.
Well-suited for short display copy such as posters, packaging callouts, social media graphics, and brand marks that want a personable, handmade feel. It performs best at larger sizes where the brushy stroke shaping and lively connections can be appreciated, and where a casual tone is desired over strict readability in long text.
The font feels upbeat and approachable, like quick signage or personal notes made with a bold marker. Its energetic bounce and soft edges read as friendly and informal rather than precise or formal, lending a conversational tone to headlines and short messages.
Likely designed to emulate bold, modern brush handwriting with an easy, spontaneous feel. The narrow proportions and flowing cursive connections suggest an intention to pack energetic personality into tight headline spaces while maintaining a cohesive marker-drawn look across letters and numbers.
Spacing appears tight and compact, with a somewhat uneven baseline and stroke swelling that reinforces the hand-drawn character. The lowercase shows strong cursive flow, while uppercase forms remain more standalone, creating a mixed rhythm that can add emphasis in title case settings.
