A heavy, brush-influenced italic with a lively, hand-drawn rhythm and slightly varying glyph widths. Strokes are thick and rounded with soft, tapered terminals that suggest a loaded brush or marker, producing subtle contrast and occasional wedge-like joins. Letterforms lean consistently forward, with compact counters and a relatively low x-height that emphasizes the uppercase and ascenders. Curves are generous and slightly elastic, and the overall texture is dense but smooth, reading as bold calligraphic print rather than connected script.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its bold, brushed texture can stay crisp—such as posters, product packaging, branding marks, menu headings, and social graphics. It can also work for emphatic pull quotes or section titles, but the dense weight and compact counters make it less ideal for long body copy at small sizes.
The font communicates an upbeat, informal confidence—energetic and a little cheeky, with a retro sign-painting flavor. Its weight and slant give it momentum and friendliness, making text feel expressive and human rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a strong, hand-made display voice that feels fast, expressive, and approachable. Its consistent slant, rounded brush terminals, and compact proportions suggest an intention to evoke casual sign lettering and energetic headline typography while staying cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Capitals carry the strongest personality, with broad, brushy shapes and occasional swash-like strokes, while lowercase remains simple and readable at display sizes. Numerals are similarly rounded and punchy, matching the letterforms’ forward drive and thick, inked presence.
