A brisk, brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively baseline rhythm. Strokes show tapered entries and exits with occasional heavier downstrokes, creating a punchy, calligraphic texture without feeling overly formal. Letterforms are compact and upright in overall footprint, with quick turns, narrow counters, and frequent joins that keep words flowing. Ascenders and descenders are long and sweeping, and terminals often finish in sharp, flicked points or rounded brushy ends.
Best suited to short to medium-length text where personality is the priority—logos, brand marks, packaging callouts, posters, and social media graphics. It also works well for emphatic headlines, pull quotes, and invitations where a handwritten feel is desired, while very small sizes or dense paragraphs may reduce clarity due to the tight spacing and lively joins.
The overall tone is upbeat and personal, like fast handwritten notes made with a confident marker or brush. It feels informal and expressive, with enough flair to read as stylish rather than messy. The strong slant and brisk curves give it momentum and a slightly dramatic, contemporary feel.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush-written cursive—fast, fluid strokes with confident pressure changes—while staying consistent enough for repeatable typographic use. The emphasis appears to be on energetic word shapes and expressive terminals that read as authentic handwriting in display contexts.
Caps tend to be gestural and signature-like, helping create an eye-catching start to words, while lowercase maintains a consistent cursive connection for smooth text color. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with angled strokes and simplified forms that match the script’s speed and character.
