A lively cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and brush-pen construction. Strokes show clear tapering into pointed terminals, with thicker downstrokes and lighter upstrokes that create an ink-brush rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and compact, with tall ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase core, giving lines a vertical, springy texture. Connections are frequent but not rigidly continuous, and spacing is variable in a natural, handwritten way.
Best suited for short-to-medium text where personality is the priority: headlines, logos and wordmarks, product packaging, posters, invitations, and pull quotes. It performs especially well at larger sizes where the tapered stroke detail and lively rhythm remain clear.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick marker lettering used for notes, labels, or social headlines. Its energetic stroke modulation and slightly irregular cadence feel informal and human, leaning more expressive than polished.
Designed to emulate fast, confident brush handwriting with an emphasis on speed, motion, and expressive contrast. The compact lowercase and tall extenders suggest an intention to keep words tight and dynamic while maintaining a clear cursive flow.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, often built from a single sweeping movement, while lowercase forms keep a tight footprint and rely on angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same brushy, handwritten logic with simplified, fast shapes that prioritize flow over strict geometry.
