A slanted, brush-pen style script with fast, tapered strokes and visible texture that suggests a dry brush or marker. Letterforms are compact and upright-to-right-leaning with tall ascenders and descenders, tight internal counters, and a lively baseline that subtly rises and dips. Stroke endings often finish in sharp points or quick flicks, while curves and joins stay smooth and continuous, creating a flowing rhythm across words. Capitals are more gestural and slightly larger than the lowercase, with looped entries and occasional flourish-like turns, while the numerals follow the same handwritten logic with narrow, angled forms.
Works best for short, prominent text such as logos, personal branding, packaging callouts, invitations, posters, and social media graphics where an expressive handwritten voice is desired. It can also suit pull quotes or headings, especially when set with generous size and tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is friendly and spontaneous, like quick handwritten notes or a confident signature. Its brisk movement and textured strokes add energy and a contemporary, informal feel without becoming overly decorative. The narrow, tall proportions give it a nimble, fashion-forward character.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush lettering with a quick, signature-like flow. The compact proportions, consistent slant, and tapered terminals prioritize motion and personality, aiming for an informal yet stylized handwritten impression.
Word shapes stay cohesive due to consistent slant and repeated entry/exit strokes, but the dense spacing and small counters can make fine details merge at small sizes. The texture and tapering are most apparent in diagonals and curves, contributing to an intentionally handcrafted look rather than a polished monoline script.
