A lively brush-script with a consistent rightward slant and tapered stroke endings that mimic a pointed marker or brush pen. Letterforms are compact and narrow, with tall ascenders/descenders and a notably small lowercase core, giving lines a quick, vertical rhythm. Strokes show subtle pressure changes—thicker on curves and downstrokes, thinner on joins and terminals—while counters stay open enough for readability at display sizes. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, with many characters joining via brief entry/exit strokes that keep words flowing without becoming overly ornate.
Best suited to short to medium-length display text where its handwritten energy can carry the message—logos, brand marks, product labels, café/menu headings, event posters, and social media graphics. It also works well for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a calmer sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like quick, confident handwriting used for notes, menus, and social captions. Its brisk slant and sharp terminals add a sense of motion, while rounded loops in letters like g, y, and the capitals keep it approachable and personable.
Designed to capture fast, confident brush handwriting in a clean, controlled way, balancing expressive capitals with streamlined lowercase forms. The narrow proportions and slanted rhythm aim to keep words compact and dynamic while preserving a legible, contemporary script feel.
Capitals are expressive and slightly varied in structure, functioning as attention-getting initials without overwhelming the word shape. The numerals match the handwritten cadence, with single-stroke forms and simple curves that feel consistent with the alphabet. Spacing appears tuned for connected reading in phrases, with a natural, slightly irregular rhythm that reinforces the handmade character.
