A condensed, brush-pen style print face with a consistent rightward slant and visibly high stroke contrast. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and occasional hairline flicks, with slight texture that suggests dry-brush drag in curves and joins. Letterforms are simplified and open, with narrow counters and compact proportions; curves are slightly irregular, and widths vary from glyph to glyph in a natural handwritten rhythm. Capitals are tall and airy, while lowercase stays compact with a relatively short x-height and minimal, informal detailing.
Works well for short to medium-length display copy where a handmade, upbeat voice is desired—posters, packaging labels, café menus, social graphics, and quote treatments. It can also support subheads and callouts when paired with a calmer text face, letting the brush texture provide emphasis without needing heavy weight.
The overall tone is casual and energetic, like quick marker lettering used for notes, menus, and handmade signage. Its brisk slant and sharp tapering ends give it a lively, confident feel, while the subtle irregularities keep it personable and approachable rather than polished or formal.
Designed to emulate quick, informal brush lettering with a narrow footprint, prioritizing character and momentum over geometric consistency. The high-contrast strokes and tapered terminals aim to deliver a hand-rendered look that reads clearly at display sizes while maintaining a spontaneous, human cadence.
Rhythm is driven by repeated tapered downstrokes and swift entry/exit strokes, creating a slightly jagged, animated edge in text. Numerals follow the same brush logic, mixing rounded forms with sharp hooks and varying stroke endings for a cohesive handwritten set.
