A brush-pen style script with a consistent rightward slant and compact, tightly set letterforms. Strokes show smooth, tapered terminals and moderate thick–thin modulation typical of pressure-driven writing, with rounded joins and occasional sharp flicks. The rhythm is quick and slightly bouncy, with variable character widths and a compact lowercase that sits relatively low against tall ascenders and expressive capitals. Counters are small and apertures tend to be partially closed, reinforcing a dense, handwritten texture at larger sizes.
Well suited for short, prominent text such as logos, product names, social posts, pull quotes, and casual packaging. It performs best at display sizes where the tight counters and brisk joins remain clear, and where its handwritten energy can be a focal point.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like fast, confident handwriting on a note or label. Its brisk strokes and lively loops add warmth and spontaneity, making it read as approachable rather than formal.
Designed to emulate quick brush handwriting with a clean, repeatable structure for digital typesetting. The narrow, slanted build and tapered strokes aim to deliver an energetic signature-like look while keeping shapes consistent across the alphabet.
Uppercase letters are simplified and gestural, acting more like headline initials than formal calligraphic caps. Letter connections are implied by cursive structure, but the forms remain readable with distinct silhouettes; numerals follow the same handwritten logic with single-stroke, slightly angular curves.
