A brush-pen script with thick, inky strokes and softly rounded terminals. Forms are compact and slightly right-leaning, with a lively baseline bounce and noticeable variation in stroke width that mimics pressure from a marker or brush. Counters are generally small and loops are tight, giving the letters a dense, energetic texture. Connections appear intermittent rather than strictly continuous, contributing to an informal handwritten rhythm while staying visually cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, product packaging, café menus, posters, and logo wordmarks where a casual brush-script personality is desired. It can also work well for pull quotes or social media graphics, but its dense loops and heavy ink color suggest avoiding long body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, like quick hand-lettering for a note, menu board, or social post. Its bold, soft-edged marks feel warm and personable, with a playful spontaneity that reads as human rather than engineered.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting in a reusable, consistent set of glyphs—prioritizing warmth, speed, and expressive stroke rhythm over formal calligraphic refinement.
Uppercase letters have simplified, sign-like shapes with occasional swashy entries, while lowercase leans into rounded bowls and compact ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same brush logic, staying legible and sturdy with consistent weight and soft curves.
