A slanted, brush-pen style script with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show tapered entries and exits, with occasional dry-brush texture and pointed terminals that give the letterforms snap. The rhythm is fluid and slightly bouncy, with loosely connected forms in lowercase and more freeform, signature-like capitals. Counters are small and elliptical, ascenders are prominent, and the overall spacing feels airy despite the narrow build.
Well suited for logos, product labels, social graphics, posters, and pull quotes where a handcrafted voice is desired. It performs best at medium to large sizes, especially in short phrases, headings, and accent text where its stroke texture and contrast can remain clear.
The font conveys an informal, handwritten tone—energetic and personable, like quick marker lettering on packaging or a note. Its lively contrast and sweeping curves add a touch of flair that reads as friendly rather than formal.
Designed to mimic fast, confident brush handwriting with a fashionable, modern script sensibility. The emphasis appears to be on expressive motion, tall elegant forms, and a natural, imperfect flow rather than strict uniformity.
Capitals lean toward embellished, looped constructions (notably rounded letters) and vary more in structure than the lowercase, reinforcing a natural handwriting feel. Numerals follow the same brush logic with simple shapes and tapered ends, suited to short bursts rather than tabular alignment.
