A lively brush-script with a consistent rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes show clear pressure modulation, with thicker downstrokes and tapered entry/exit strokes that create sharp terminals and occasional ink-like flicks. Letterforms are mostly semi-connected in text, with rhythmic joins and rounded bowls, while maintaining a slightly irregular, hand-drawn edge that keeps repetition from feeling mechanical. Counters are relatively tight and spacing is snug, producing a dense, fast-written texture that reads best at display sizes.
Well-suited for branding marks, poster headlines, packaging callouts, and social media graphics where an energetic handwritten voice is desired. It also works effectively for short quotes or emphasis lines, especially when paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, evoking quick marker signatures, café chalkboards, and personable note-taking. Its bold, brushy presence feels confident and friendly, leaning more expressive than refined.
The design appears intended to capture the speed and personality of brush lettering while staying structured enough for repeated use in titles. Its compact, slanted construction and confident stroke weight aim to deliver strong impact and a friendly, human feel.
Capitals are assertive and gestural, often beginning with a strong leading stroke that sets a dynamic line start. Descenders on letters like g, j, and y are long and sweeping, adding motion to word shapes, and numerals follow the same brush rhythm with rounded, handwritten forms.
