A brush-leaning italic with rounded, tapered terminals and a compact lowercase that sits low on the body, giving the text a tight, energetic rhythm. Strokes show subtle pressure changes and slightly soft corners, with letterforms that feel drawn in a single pass rather than mechanically constructed. The caps are sturdy and forward-leaning, with simplified shapes and occasional swashy curvature, while the lowercase stays relatively small and punchy, helping ascenders and descenders carry much of the motion. Numerals follow the same slanted, brushy logic, with open counters and sturdy curves that hold up at display sizes.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy such as posters, headlines, product packaging, storefront or event signage, and social content where a lively handwritten voice is useful. It can also suit subheads or callouts in editorial layouts, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, like quick marker or brush lettering used to add personality without becoming ornate. It reads as friendly and approachable, with enough weight and speed to feel assertive and modern rather than delicate or nostalgic.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with brush-like modulation—prioritizing personality, momentum, and bold readability in display settings. The compact lowercase and animated curves suggest an intent to keep lines tight and expressive while remaining legible at larger sizes.
Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handwritten cadence in text. The forward slant and tapered ends create strong directional flow on a line, and the heavier stroke presence makes it most comfortable where a casual, emphatic voice is desired.
