A lively brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and a narrow, upright footprint. Strokes show medium contrast and visible dry-brush texture, with tapered entries/exits and slightly frayed edges that mimic ink drag. Letterforms are mostly connected in running text, with quick, elastic curves and occasional sharp turns; spacing is tight and rhythm-forward rather than strictly even. The lowercase sits low with a notably short x-height, while ascenders are tall and prominent, giving the line a vertical, gestural feel.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the brush texture and energetic connections can be appreciated—brand marks, packaging callouts, posters, social graphics, and casual headlines. It can also work for quotes or invitations when set with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing to preserve legibility.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like fast note-taking with a brush pen. Its textured strokes and energetic slant add a spontaneous, handcrafted character that reads friendly and contemporary rather than formal or classic.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of natural brush handwriting in a compact, fast-moving script, prioritizing expressive rhythm and handcrafted texture over strict uniformity.
Capitals are simplified and stroke-led, functioning more like expressive lead-in forms than rigid display caps. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with quick curves and tapered terminals that keep the set cohesive with the lettering.
