A slanted, brush-pen script with quick, tapered strokes and visible pressure changes. Letterforms are compact and tall, with long ascending strokes and a notably small lowercase body, giving words a vertical, energetic rhythm. Strokes show occasional dry-brush texture and slightly uneven edges, reinforcing a hand-drawn feel. Connections are frequent in lowercase, while capitals are more standalone and gestural, creating a dynamic mix of joining and broken joins across a line.
Best suited to display settings where a human, handwritten voice is desired—logos, packaging labels, posters, and social media graphics. It also works well for short headlines, pull quotes, and greeting-style copy, while extended small-size text may feel busy due to the tight proportions and textured stroke quality.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like fast handwritten notes made with a marker or brush pen. It reads upbeat and expressive, with a slightly edgy, sketchbook character that feels contemporary rather than formal.
Designed to mimic fast, confident brush handwriting with an emphasis on momentum and personality. The compact lowercase and tall rhythm suggest an intention to fit expressive script into tighter spaces while still reading as bold, spontaneous penwork.
Uppercase forms have a simplified, calligraphic construction with narrow counters and occasional flourish-like terminals, while the lowercase leans on looped entries/exits that keep text moving forward. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with open, airy shapes and brisk stroke endings that suit short, attention-grabbing uses.
