A lively brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and visibly textured stroke edges that mimic dry ink or a rough marker. Letterforms are compact and tall, with narrow overall proportions and quick, tapered entries and exits that create strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes show occasional wobble and overshoot, giving a natural hand-drawn rhythm rather than strict repetition; joins are loose and intermittently connected, keeping word shapes airy and legible. Counters are small and openings are often pinched, while ascenders and capitals rise prominently above the lowercase, producing a spirited vertical cadence.
Works well for short-to-medium headlines, packaging callouts, posters, and social graphics where a handmade voice is desirable. It also suits quotes, invitations, and branding accents when set with generous spacing and paired with a calmer sans or serif for body copy.
The font reads as friendly and informal, like quick handwriting done with a brush pen for emphasis. Its energetic stroke texture and springy movement add a crafty, personal tone suited to approachable messaging rather than corporate polish.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of brushed handwriting—fast, slightly imperfect, and expressive—while staying readable across mixed-case text. The narrow, upright-leaning rhythm and high-contrast brush modulation appear intended to deliver strong personality in compact headline settings.
Uppercase forms have a bold, display-like presence and vary more in construction than the lowercase, which maintains a consistent narrow footprint. Numerals follow the same brush logic with tapered terminals and a hand-rendered unevenness, helping them blend naturally in mixed text settings.
