A lively brush-script with a pronounced rightward slant, narrow letterforms, and medium stroke contrast that mimics pressure changes from a marker or brush pen. Strokes taper into pointed terminals, with occasional thicker downstrokes and slightly dry, textured joins that reinforce the handmade feel. Letter spacing and widths vary naturally, and many forms feature open counters and quick, angular turns rather than perfectly rounded bowls, creating a brisk, rhythmic line. Lowercase shows a very small x-height with tall ascenders and extended descenders, helping the script feel elongated and fast-moving.
Best suited to display use where its brush texture and dynamic slant can be appreciated—logos, short headlines, quotes, posters, packaging callouts, and social graphics. It can work for brief subheads or emphasis in editorial layouts, but the narrow, fast script character is most effective in larger sizes and shorter runs of text.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like quick hand-lettering for notes, packaging, or social content. Its energetic rhythm and brushy texture give it a personable, modern feel while staying legible enough for short phrases.
Designed to capture the speed and personality of casual brush lettering with a compact footprint, balancing expressive movement with clear letter recognition. The varied stroke endings and lively rhythm suggest an intention to feel human and contemporary rather than formal or polished.
Capitals are prominent and often more flourished than the lowercase, lending a headline-like emphasis. Numerals follow the same italic, brush-drawn logic with simple, streamlined shapes and tapered ends, keeping the set visually consistent.
