A slanted, brush-pen style script with compact proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show visible pressure modulation and slightly textured edges, creating a hand-drawn feel rather than a perfectly smooth outline. Letterforms mix rounded bowls with sharp entry/exit terminals, and many characters carry long, tapered ascenders and descenders that add vertical momentum. Spacing is tight and the overall silhouette stays narrow, producing dense word shapes while maintaining clear internal counters.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where the brush texture and narrow, slanted forms can add character—such as branding accents, posters, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It can work for subheads or pull quotes when given adequate size and breathing room, but the tight rhythm and energetic stroke endings are most effective in larger, attention-getting applications.
The font conveys an upbeat, informal confidence—more like quick marker lettering than traditional calligraphy. Its assertive strokes and brisk slant feel energetic and contemporary, with a personable, handmade tone that reads as friendly and direct rather than delicate.
Designed to emulate fast, confident brush lettering with a contemporary slant and compact footprint, aiming for high impact and a distinctly handmade presence in display typography.
Uppercase forms are simplified and monoline-adjacent in construction but retain brush contrast through tapering and thick–thin transitions. The numerals follow the same brisk, handwritten logic and keep a consistent forward lean, helping mixed text (like headlines with dates) feel cohesive.
