A slanted, brush-pen script with energetic strokes and strong thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are narrow and compact, with tall ascenders/descenders and a comparatively small lowercase body, creating a vertical, quick-written rhythm. Strokes show tapered entries and exits, occasional pointed terminals, and gently rounded joins; counters are mostly open and the overall texture is dense but readable at display sizes. Capitals are simple and upright in structure but rendered with the same sweeping, calligraphic stroke behavior as the lowercase, and numerals follow the same handwritten, slightly irregular styling.
Well-suited for short headlines, logos, packaging callouts, and social media graphics where a personable handwritten voice is desired. It also works for quote cards, invitations, and product labels, especially when used at medium-to-large sizes where the brush contrast and narrow rhythm remain clear.
The font conveys an approachable, upbeat tone—like quick, confident handwriting made with a brush marker. Its lively contrast and forward slant add momentum, giving text a personal, contemporary feel suited to informal, expressive messaging.
Designed to emulate fast, stylish brush handwriting with a modern, compact footprint—balancing legibility with an expressive, personal signature-like gesture.
Baseline behavior feels slightly bouncy due to varied stroke endings and differing letter widths, which enhances the hand-drawn character. The narrow proportions and compact joins create a strong word-shape, while the high-contrast strokes emphasize gesture over precision.
