A lively brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes show clear tool modulation: thick downstrokes, thinner upstrokes, and tapered terminals that often end in pointed flicks. The letterforms are mostly non-connecting with occasional joining behavior, giving it a cursive rhythm without strict continuous linkage. Edges are intentionally irregular and textured, suggesting ink drag or a dry-brush finish, while counters stay open enough to keep the forms readable at display sizes.
Best suited to short to medium display text where the brush texture and energetic rhythm can carry the design—such as posters, packaging, event promos, social media graphics, and logo-like wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes or emphatic subheads when paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, with a confident, hand-written immediacy. Its brisk slant, sharp entry/exit strokes, and textured black strokes create a sporty, streetwise feel that reads as personal and expressive rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the speed and character of brush lettering in a consistent, repeatable font, prioritizing expressive stroke contrast and dynamic movement for attention-grabbing display typography.
Capitals are assertive and slightly swashy, creating strong word-shape starts in headlines, while lowercase maintains a quick, note-like cadence. Numerals follow the same brush logic with varied widths and lively diagonals, keeping the set cohesive in mixed text.
