A slanted handwritten script with brush-pen construction and visible dry-brush texture. Strokes show moderate modulation, with tapered entries and exits and occasional heavier downstrokes, producing a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Letterforms are compact and generally narrow, with a low x-height, rounded joins, and open counters; spacing and widths vary subtly to preserve a natural, hand-drawn flow. Numerals and capitals follow the same brushy logic, with confident swashes and soft, slightly rough edges rather than crisp terminals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the brush texture and slanted movement can be appreciated—posters, headlines, product packaging, café-style signage, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or short blurbs, especially when paired with a clean sans or simple serif for contrast.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like quick marker lettering for notes, packaging, or social captions. Its textured strokes and forward slant add momentum and a personal, approachable voice that reads as modern and spontaneous rather than formal or traditional.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with a textured edge, balancing legibility with personality. The intent appears to be an expressive everyday script that feels handmade and contemporary, adding warmth and motion to display typography.
Texture is a prominent stylistic feature, with intermittent breaks and grain in strokes that become more apparent at larger sizes. The baseline feel is gently bouncy, and several characters show distinctive looped or hooked terminals that enhance expressiveness while keeping shapes broadly familiar.
