A brush-pen style script with a pronounced rightward slant and lively, pressure-driven strokes. Letterforms show tapered entries and exits with occasional dry-brush texture, creating a natural, slightly ragged edge rather than smooth outlines. Proportions are compact with relatively small lowercase bodies and tall ascenders/descenders, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for an organic rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded, and terminals often end in sharp flicks or blunt brush stops that reinforce the hand-drawn feel.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where texture and motion are an asset—posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, and branding phrases. It can work for prominent subheads or pull quotes, but the textured strokes and tight lowercase proportions are more effective at larger sizes than in long passages.
The font reads as spontaneous and upbeat, like quick marker lettering made for impact. Its angled stance and bold brush energy feel expressive and modern, balancing friendliness with a confident, attention-grabbing tone.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush lettering in a consistent, reusable typeface—delivering bold, slanted strokes, natural variation, and a casual handwritten rhythm for expressive display typography.
Connections between letters are suggested by consistent exit strokes, but joins are not uniformly continuous, so words retain a sketchy, handwritten cadence. Uppercase forms are compact and dynamic, and numerals follow the same brush logic with varied stroke endings, helping mixed text keep a cohesive, hand-rendered character.
