A slanted, brush-pen script with compact proportions and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm. Strokes show clear pressure modulation, moving from fine entry hairlines into fuller downstrokes, with tapered terminals and occasional sharp, wedge-like ends. Letterforms are generally connected in running text, with open, angular joins and intermittent lift points that add a hand-drawn texture. Capitals are larger and more gestural, often with sweeping diagonals and simplified bowls, while lowercase forms stay tight and quick with modest loops and compact counters.
Best suited to short, prominent text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as posters, product packaging, brand marks, pull quotes, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings or accent lines in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer serif or sans for body copy.
The overall tone is informal and animated, like fast handwritten notes made with a felt or brush pen. Its assertive slant and pointed terminals add momentum and a slightly dramatic flair, while the imperfect stroke edges keep it approachable and personal.
Designed to capture the speed and expressiveness of real brush handwriting while keeping a consistent baseline and repeatable forms for typesetting. The intent appears to balance energetic, signature-like motion with enough structure to remain legible across a full alphabet and numerals.
Numerals echo the same brisk, handwritten construction, with narrow figures and slanted stress that blend naturally alongside letters. In longer words the connected flow is strong, but individual characters retain distinct, somewhat angular silhouettes, helping maintain recognition in display-sized settings.
