A lively brush-pen style with a consistent rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes show natural pressure changes and rough, inked edges, producing slightly uneven terminals and occasional blunt, chiseled-looking joins. Letterforms are mostly unconnected, with variable glyph widths and a rhythmic, handwritten baseline that stays controlled enough for line setting. The lowercase has a relatively small x-height compared to the tall ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same brisk, handwritten construction.
Well suited to display roles such as posters, packaging callouts, branding accents, and short headline lines where a handcrafted tone is desired. It can also work for quotes or social graphics, especially when set at moderate-to-large sizes to preserve the brush texture and shape definition.
The overall tone is fast, personable, and a bit rugged—like confident marker or brush lettering made in one pass. Its texture and forward motion suggest immediacy and human presence, giving text an informal, slightly retro display feel rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to capture the speed and character of informal brush lettering while remaining consistent enough for repeatable typography. It prioritizes expressive stroke texture and a forward-leaning rhythm to convey energy and authenticity in display text.
Capitals are assertive and often angular, while the lowercase keeps a simpler, sketch-like structure that reads naturally in short phrases. The dark color and textured edges can visually fill in at small sizes, so it tends to look best when given room to breathe.
