A slanted, brush-pen script with thick, rounded strokes and softly tapered ends. Letterforms lean forward with a lively, bouncing baseline and compact lowercase proportions, producing a dense, rhythmic texture in words. Curves are generous and oval, counters stay fairly open for a heavy script, and joins are generally smooth, giving the writing a continuous, swept feel even when some characters read as loosely connected. The numerals and capitals keep the same brush logic, with broad strokes and simplified, readable shapes.
Best suited to short to medium-length display copy where a friendly, handcrafted voice is needed—logos, product labels, café menus, posters, and social graphics. It can work for subheads or pull quotes, but the bold, compact texture benefits from adequate size and spacing for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like confident marker or sign-painter lettering. Its motion and rounded terminals feel upbeat and informal, suggesting handmade charm rather than strict calligraphic formality.
Designed to emulate bold brush handwriting with a smooth, flowing rhythm and strong visual presence. The emphasis appears to be on approachable, energetic display lettering that feels handmade while remaining clear in common words and numerals.
Capitals have a slightly swash-like, display presence without becoming overly ornate, helping headings stand out. Stroke edges look clean and consistent, while subtle width changes and tapered entries/exits maintain a hand-drawn impression.
