A brush-pen style script with tall, narrow proportions and a forward-leaning, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and slightly irregular edges, suggesting pressure changes and a dry-brush texture. Letterforms are mostly connected in running text with occasional breaks, producing a lively baseline and uneven internal spacing that feels intentionally organic. Counters are compact, ascenders are prominent, and terminals often taper or flick into soft hooks, giving the design a quick, gestural finish.
This font suits short-to-medium display text where a handcrafted voice is desired—social posts, café or boutique branding, packaging callouts, event invitations, and poster headlines. It performs best with generous tracking and line spacing, and it’s particularly effective when used for emphasis alongside a quieter sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like an energetic marker note or modern craft lettering. Its narrow, upright-tall stance adds urgency and punch, while the brush modulation keeps it warm and informal rather than formal or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, confident brush lettering in a compact, vertical footprint—delivering strong contrast and movement while retaining an approachable, everyday feel.
Uppercase forms read as simplified, hand-drawn caps that pair naturally with the more fluid lowercase. Numerals follow the same brush logic with rounded shapes and tapered ends, making them suitable as supportive accents rather than dense tabular data.
