A slanted, brush-pen script with rounded terminals and a steady, medium-contrast stroke that thickens on curves and downstrokes. Letterforms are compact with a relatively low x-height, generous entry/exit strokes, and a gently bouncy baseline that adds momentum without becoming chaotic. The rhythm is smooth and continuous, with many characters naturally joining in running text, while capitals remain prominent and slightly more flourished for emphasis.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its lively brush rhythm can be appreciated—headlines, posters, storefront-style signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes or social graphics, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and personable, with a bold, upbeat presence that reads as confident rather than delicate. Its brushy curves and forward lean evoke a casual retro feel—friendly, promotional, and attention-getting.
Designed to capture the look of confident hand lettering made with a brush marker: fast, smooth, and high-impact. The consistent slant and rounded strokes prioritize expressive word shapes and bold legibility for display use over quiet, text-size neutrality.
Capitals show simplified swash-like forms and broad curves that create strong word shapes, while lowercase maintains a consistent forward slant and rounded bowls. Numerals are similarly slanted and chunky, designed to match the script’s stroke weight and flow, making mixed text feel cohesive.
