A lively brush-script with a forward slant and visibly textured, dry-brush edges. Strokes show strong pressure modulation with tapered entries and exits, occasional blunt terminals, and slightly irregular contours that keep the rhythm human. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning in proportion, with simplified loops and a mix of connected and near-connected joins that read like fast marker or brush writing. Counters are small to medium, spacing is tight but not rigid, and the numerals match the same gestural stroke behavior and angled stress.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as posters, display headlines, packaging callouts, event promos, and logo/wordmark-style branding where the brush texture can be appreciated. It also works well for casual lifestyle graphics and social media titles; for longer passages, larger sizes and relaxed spacing will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is informal and high-energy, like quick handwritten signage or a bold personal note. Its roughened brush texture adds grit and immediacy, giving it a contemporary, street-level confidence rather than a polished calligraphic feel.
Designed to capture the speed and character of hand-painted or marker-brush lettering, prioritizing personality and impact over strict uniformity. The consistent slant and pressure-driven stroke pattern suggest an intention to deliver a bold, handcrafted script that feels spontaneous yet controlled for display use.
Capitals have a prominent, attention-grabbing presence with sharp diagonals and dramatic swashes, while lowercase maintains a brisk, legible flow with occasional lifted connections that create natural breaks. At larger sizes the stroke texture becomes a defining feature; at smaller sizes the tight joins and rough edges may need generous tracking and strong contrast.
