A slanted, brush-pen script with sharp contrast between thick downstrokes and thin, tapering hairlines. Strokes show visible texture and slight waviness, creating an organic rhythm and a hand-made edge. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning with tight spacing tendencies, narrow counters, and frequent entry/exit flicks. Uppercase has simplified, gestural constructions with occasional swashes, while lowercase mixes open loops and pointed joins for a quick, written feel.
Best suited to short to medium text where its texture and contrast can be appreciated—display headlines, pull quotes, packaging labels, and social graphics. It can also work for invitations or personal branding where an informal, handwritten signature tone is desired; for long body copy, the narrow forms and lively modulation may feel busy at small sizes.
The font reads like fast, confident handwriting made with a flexible brush or marker. Its lively stroke modulation and imperfect edges give it an expressive, personal tone—more conversational than formal, with a bit of dramatic flair in the capitals and descenders.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of handwritten brush script while remaining consistent enough for repeated, typographic use. The contrasty downstrokes, tapered terminals, and compact proportions aim to deliver a bold, energetic voice for expressive display typography.
Connectivity varies: many lowercase letters suggest cursive joining, but forms also work as loosely linked or slightly separated strokes depending on surrounding letters. Descenders (notably in g, j, y, z) are long and animated, and several capitals feature distinctive lead-in strokes that can add emphasis in short phrases. Numerals share the same calligraphic contrast and angled momentum, keeping the set stylistically cohesive.
