A heavy, brush-driven italic with rounded forms and blunted terminals that keep counters open despite the weight. Strokes show a soft, marker-like pressure pattern without sharp contrast, and many joins are slightly pinched or tapered, reinforcing a hand-drawn rhythm. Letterforms lean consistently forward with a bouncy baseline feel; widths vary noticeably across glyphs, giving words an irregular, animated texture. Numerals follow the same chunky, slanted construction with simplified shapes and generous curves.
Well-suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, and branding marks where an expressive handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for informal headlines or subheads, especially when set with ample size and breathing room.
The font reads upbeat and informal, with a confident, personable tone that feels conversational rather than polished. Its thick, lively strokes and forward slant add momentum, making it feel sporty and fun without becoming messy.
Designed to emulate fast, confident brush lettering with a consistent italic slant and bold, rounded strokes, prioritizing energy and approachability over strict regularity. The variable widths and soft terminals appear intended to preserve a hand-made feel while remaining cohesive in continuous text.
Spacing appears relatively tight in running text, and the large stroke weight makes interior shapes and apertures an important part of legibility at smaller sizes. The overall silhouette is strong and graphic, which helps it hold up well in short phrases and headline-like settings.
