A lively brush-script with a consistent rightward slant and a lightly textured, marker-like stroke. Forms are narrow and tall with compact bowls and tight apertures, giving the alphabet a quick, efficient rhythm. Stroke endings taper and flick, with occasional hooked terminals and rounded joins that suggest rapid handwriting rather than constructed calligraphy. Lowercase shows simplified, single-storey structures and compact counters, while capitals are taller and more gestural, helping create a clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings.
Well suited to short, high-impact text such as logos, product names, invitations, headers, pull quotes, and social graphics where a personal voice is desired. It performs best at display sizes, and works especially well when paired with a neutral sans or simple serif for supporting copy.
The tone is upbeat and personable, like a fast handwritten note or an energetic signature. Its brisk cadence and flicked terminals feel contemporary and informal, leaning more toward spontaneous expression than refinement.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting in a clean, repeatable digital form, emphasizing speed, personality, and a signature-like presence. The condensed, slanted construction prioritizes expressive rhythm and compact word shapes for attention-grabbing headlines.
Letterspacing appears naturally tight due to the condensed proportions, and the most distinctive character comes from the varied stroke flare at terminals and the occasional exaggerated entry/exit strokes on capitals. Numerals match the script flavor with similarly slanted, handwritten shapes suited to casual display rather than tabular alignment.
