A brisk, brush-pen script with a rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes are thick and taper subtly at entry and exit points, with visible dry-brush texture and slightly uneven edges that reinforce a hand-made feel. Letterforms stay mostly connected in words, with simplified joins and occasional breaks, and counters are kept tight for a dense, punchy rhythm. Capitals are bold and gestural rather than ornate, while the lowercase maintains a consistent forward motion and rounded turns.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its brush texture and momentum can read as intentional character—such as headlines, poster copy, packaging callouts, and branding accents. It also works well for social graphics, apparel-style slogans, and promotional messaging where a handwritten emphasis is desirable.
The overall tone is lively and approachable, like quick marker lettering made for emphasis. Its textured strokes and brisk slant give it an energetic, personable voice that feels modern, informal, and slightly sporty.
Designed to capture the speed and impact of hand-lettered brush writing, prioritizing gesture and texture over formal calligraphic precision. The forms aim for an assertive, contemporary script look that delivers personality quickly in display settings.
Spacing appears intentionally compact, which helps create a cohesive handwritten flow but can build visual density in longer text. The texture is prominent enough to become part of the design, especially at larger sizes and in high-contrast settings.
