A slanted, brush-pen script with a narrow overall footprint and tall ascenders/descenders. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with heavier downstrokes and lighter upstrokes, plus occasional dry-brush tapering at terminals. Letterforms are mostly separate rather than fully connected, but maintain a consistent cursive rhythm through angled stems, looping entries, and quick exit strokes. Capitals are simplified and upright-leaning with elongated verticals, while lowercase forms are compact with small counters and frequent loop structures (notably in letters like g, y, and j). Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, using tapered starts and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited for short display text where the brush contrast and narrow, vertical rhythm can read clearly—such as headlines, quotes, packaging callouts, café-style menus, posters, and social media graphics. It can also add a casual, handmade tone to invitations or branding accents, especially when paired with a simple sans for supporting copy.
The font feels energetic and personable, like quick marker lettering used for notes, labels, or casual headlines. Its brisk slant, sharp tapers, and bold downstrokes create a sense of movement and spontaneity, balancing friendliness with a slightly dramatic, brush-script flair.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, confident brush lettering: tall, narrow shapes with strong downstrokes, lively terminals, and just enough irregularity to feel human while staying consistent across the alphabet.
Stroke endings often finish in fine points or short flicks, and rounded joins are paired with occasional angular turns, giving the texture a natural, handwritten irregularity. Spacing appears intentionally tight and vertical, which reinforces the condensed, contemporary script look at display sizes.
