A lively brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes look pressure-built and marker-like, with rounded terminals, occasional tapering, and subtle wobble that preserves a hand-drawn feel. Letterforms lean toward simplified, single-stroke construction, producing a quick rhythm and slightly irregular spacing that reads as intentionally informal. Uppercase characters are compact and punchy, while lowercase forms keep a tight counter space and a brisk, forward motion.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where personality matters: posters, packaging callouts, social media graphics, and quote-style headlines. It can also work for casual branding accents and event materials, especially when paired with a calmer sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick signage or a confident handwritten note. Its brushy texture and energetic slant give it a sporty, contemporary feel while staying approachable and informal.
Designed to capture the speed and character of brush handwriting in a clean, repeatable set of glyphs. The intent appears to be expressive display lettering that feels spontaneous and human while remaining legible at typical headline sizes.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same brisk, hand-rendered logic as the lowercase, helping mixed-case text feel cohesive. The texture is consistent across the alphabet, with natural variations in stroke edge and join shapes that suggest real pen movement rather than rigid geometry.
