A fast, brush-pen style script with a consistent rightward slant and lively, tapered stroke terminals. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with compact counters and a very low x-height that makes ascenders and capitals dominate the vertical rhythm. Strokes show subtle pressure variation—thicker through curves and downstrokes, lighter on joins and exits—while maintaining an overall clean, single-pen continuity. Connections are mostly implied through flowing entry/exit strokes rather than strict continuous joining, giving the line a quick handwritten cadence.
Best suited for short to medium lines where its narrow, animated strokes can create a strong signature look—such as branding marks, packaging accents, social graphics, pull quotes, and event or lifestyle headlines. It can also work for subheads and captions when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity at smaller sizes.
The tone feels informal and energetic, like a confident note written with a marker or brush pen. Its sweeping capitals and quick loops add a friendly, slightly dramatic flair that reads as personal, modern, and upbeat rather than formal or traditional.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting in a consistent, font-ready form, emphasizing swift movement, tall proportions, and expressive capitals for impactful display use.
Capitals are especially prominent and gestural, with long lead-in strokes and occasional extended crossbars that create a strong sense of motion. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with smooth curves and open forms, helping them blend naturally into headline-style compositions.
