A slanted brush-script with compact proportions and a lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show tapered entries and exits with rounded terminals, producing a clear brush-pen texture rather than rigid calligraphic stress. Letterforms lean strongly forward, with tight sidebearings and occasional joining behavior in the sample text, giving words a continuous, flowing silhouette. Capitals are simplified and angular-leaning with occasional swash-like starts, while lowercase forms feature looped ascenders and smooth bowls that keep counters fairly open for the style.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the brush movement can be appreciated—logos, brand marks, posters, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It also works well for energetic headlines and subheads, especially when paired with a neutral sans for body copy.
The overall tone is upbeat and expressive, with a fast, personal signature feel. Its forward slant and punchy stroke weight read as assertive and dynamic, suggesting motion and enthusiasm rather than formality.
Designed to mimic confident, fast brush lettering with a polished, repeatable rhythm. The intent appears to balance handcrafted personality with enough consistency and openness to remain readable in display sizes.
Numerals follow the same brush logic, with rounded curves and tapered turns that keep them visually consistent with the letters. The texture is intentionally uneven in a hand-drawn way, but maintains consistent stroke behavior across the set for a cohesive display look.
