An energetic, right-leaning brush-script with high-contrast strokes that shift from hairline flicks to heavier downstrokes. Letterforms are loosely connected in feel but mostly drawn as individual characters, with open counters, tapered terminals, and frequent entry/exit strokes that mimic a quick marker or dry brush. Edges show intentional roughness and slight ink breakup, giving the outlines a textured, imperfect finish. Proportions are compact with a relatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders, creating a lively vertical rhythm in words.
Works best for short to medium display text where texture and motion are an asset—posters, packaging labels, brand marks, and social graphics. It can also suit editorial pull quotes or event promotions, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting copy.
The overall tone is informal and human, like fast hand-lettering made for emphasis rather than precision. The rough texture and brisk slant add a slightly gritty, DIY attitude while still reading as upbeat and personable.
Designed to capture the look of quick, expressive brush lettering with deliberate ink wear, prioritizing personality and gesture over uniform, typographic smoothness.
Caps are bold and sweeping with simplified, calligraphic construction, while the lowercase maintains a brisk, handwritten cadence that can feel uneven in a natural way. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with angled stress and tapered ends that keep them consistent in mixed settings.
