A slanted brush-script with thick, pressure-driven strokes and visibly textured edges that mimic dry-ink or marker drag. Forms are compact and right-leaning, with quick, tapered entries and exits and a lively, slightly irregular baseline rhythm. Capitals are simplified and open, while lowercase shapes are looped and flowing, with occasional partial joins and brisk, angular turns that keep the writing moving. Numerals match the handwritten logic with rounded bowls, strong diagonals, and the same stroke tapering.
Best suited for short-to-medium display copy where the brush texture and movement can be appreciated, such as posters, editorial headlines, packaging callouts, social posts, and casual branding marks. It can also work for quotes and invitations when a relaxed, handwritten emphasis is desired.
The font reads like fast, confident handwriting—informal, upbeat, and a bit gritty from the brush texture. It feels personal and energetic rather than polished, lending a friendly, human tone with a hint of streetwise edge.
Designed to capture the look of quick brush lettering with expressive stroke contrast and natural irregularities, prioritizing personality and motion over strict uniformity. The consistent slant and compact forms suggest an aim for impactful, energetic display text that still feels handwritten.
Texture and stroke roughness are prominent at display sizes and contribute significantly to the character. Spacing appears intentionally loose and variable to preserve a natural handwritten cadence, and the slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
