A lively brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and high-contrast strokes that taper into sharp entry and exit points. The letterforms show dry-brush texture and slightly uneven edges, giving an intentionally imperfect, hand-rendered finish. Proportions are compact with relatively small lowercase bodies and long ascenders/descenders, while stroke connections appear intermittent—some letters link fluidly and others break for a more sketched rhythm. Overall spacing feels tight and forward-moving, with rounded bowls and angled terminals that keep the line active.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as logos, brand marks, posters, packaging callouts, and social media graphics where a handmade voice is desired. It can work well for punchy headlines and quote treatments, especially when set large enough for the brush texture and tapered strokes to remain clear.
The tone is spontaneous and personable, like quick marker lettering on a note or poster. Its textured stroke and brisk slant communicate momentum and confidence, leaning more expressive than formal. The result feels modern, informal, and a bit gritty in a deliberate, handcrafted way.
Designed to emulate fast, confident brush writing with visible stroke texture and a natural, human rhythm. The emphasis appears to be on personality and motion rather than strict uniformity, delivering an expressive script look that feels contemporary and handcrafted.
Capitals are bold and attention-grabbing, with simplified, brushy construction that reads well at display sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with tapered starts and finishes, maintaining the textured, gestural character across the set.
