A lively brush-pen script with a rightward slant and visibly textured strokes that mimic bristles and dry-brush edges. Letterforms are narrow overall, with compact counters and a rhythmic, fast-written movement that produces uneven stroke widths and occasional ink pooling at turns. The lowercase has a very short x-height with tall ascenders and deep, sweeping descenders, creating strong vertical contrast in proportions. Connections are frequent in running text, with fluid joins and occasional breaks that add a natural, handwritten irregularity.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as branding accents, product packaging, posters, and promotional headlines where a handmade voice is desired. It also works nicely for social media graphics, invitations, and quote-style compositions, especially when paired with a simple sans for supporting copy.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—confident and spontaneous, like quick marker lettering on packaging or a note in the margin. Its bouncy rhythm and slightly rough texture add warmth and energy, leaning more toward contemporary, upbeat handwriting than polished calligraphy.
Designed to capture the immediacy of real brush handwriting—compact, slanted, and slightly rough—while staying cohesive across an alphabet and numerals. The emphasis appears to be on personality and motion in display settings rather than calm, extended reading.
Capitals are simplified and gestural, often resembling single, confident strokes with minimal ornament, while select letters show pronounced loops and curls (notably in forms like Q and g). Numerals match the script’s slanted, handwritten feel and remain clear at display sizes, though the short x-height and tight interior spaces suggest it will read best when given a bit of size and breathing room.
