A brisk, brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with tapered entries/exits and occasional ink-like swelling at turns. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a bouncy baseline and varied joining behavior—some pairs connect smoothly while others lift for clarity. Uppercase shapes are simplified and gestural, while lowercase forms lean on rounded bowls, tall ascenders, and looped structures (notably in g, j, y), giving the set an energetic, calligraphic texture.
Well-suited to branding accents, packaging, posters, and social media graphics where a casual handwritten voice is desired. It works especially well for headlines, short quotes, invitations, and product tags, and can add a human, crafted feel to otherwise clean layouts.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick marker lettering on a sign or note. Its brisk motion and expressive contrast add a sense of spontaneity and warmth, reading as upbeat and approachable rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the speed and character of brush lettering in a tidy, repeatable font: energetic strokes, clear silhouettes, and enough structure to remain readable while still feeling hand-drawn.
The figures follow the same brush logic as the letters, with open, handwritten counters and tapered terminals that keep them visually consistent in mixed settings. In longer text, the strong slant and contrast create a distinctive color that favors display sizes and short phrases over dense copy.
