A brush-pen script with energetic, slightly right-leaning forms and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Strokes are rounded and fluid, with frequent tapering terminals and subtle wobble that keeps the rhythm human and informal. Letterforms are compact and narrow with tight internal counters, and the baseline feel is slightly bouncy rather than strictly linear. Connections appear in many lowercase joins while some shapes remain loosely separated, creating a natural handwritten texture.
Best suited for short to medium text where a handmade, friendly tone is desired—such as headlines, logo wordmarks, quotes, greeting cards, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It can also work for light display copy in posters or menus when generous spacing and size help preserve its stroke detail.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and expressive, like quick marker lettering for notes, labels, or casual branding. Its lively stroke contrast and soft curves add a cheerful, personable voice that feels handcrafted rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting in a consistent, reusable alphabet: expressive contrast, narrow proportions, and soft terminals that deliver an informal script look with strong visual presence.
Uppercase characters read as simplified, brushy print forms that pair smoothly with a more connected lowercase. Ascenders are tall and prominent, while many lowercase bowls stay small and closed, reinforcing a compact, punchy color in text. Numerals follow the same brush logic with rounded turns and tapered ends, remaining legible while keeping the hand-drawn character.
