A lively brush-script with a forward slant and visibly textured strokes that mimic a dry brush or marker. Letterforms are compact with tall ascenders/descenders and a bouncy baseline, producing an animated rhythm. Strokes show pronounced tapering at entries and exits, with occasional heavier pools where pressure appears to increase, and counters that stay relatively open despite the dense, inky texture. Connections are loose and intermittent rather than fully continuous, keeping the feel handwritten while maintaining recognizable forms in both cases.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where texture and motion are desirable—such as branding marks, packaging callouts, posters, event promos, and social media graphics. It can work for subheads or pull quotes when set with enough size and spacing to preserve its rough brush detail.
The font reads as upbeat and personable, with an informal, conversational tone. Its brushy texture and quick, gestural shapes suggest spontaneity and warmth, leaning more playful than formal.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident hand lettering with brush pressure and dry-stroke texture, balancing legibility with expressive, gestural character for display-oriented typography.
Capitals are simplified and punchy, functioning well as attention-getting initials, while the lowercase carries more of the cursive flow and bounce. Numerals and punctuation match the same brush-driven modulation, reinforcing a consistent handcrafted voice across the set.
