A compact, brush-pen style script with thick, rounded strokes and softened terminals. Letterforms show a lively, slightly uneven rhythm with occasional implied joins and flowing loops, especially in lowercase. Proportions are tall and tight, with narrow counters and a small-looking x-height relative to the ascenders; capitals are prominent and simplified with smooth, monoline-like curves that thicken in places. Numerals and punctuation follow the same handwritten logic, keeping the overall texture dark and cohesive.
Best used for short display text where its bold, handwritten texture can shine—such as headlines, posters, packaging labels, and social media graphics. It also works well for greetings, invitations, and craft or lifestyle branding, while extended small-size text may feel dense due to the dark stroke weight and tight proportions.
The font communicates an upbeat, approachable tone that feels personal and spontaneous, like quick marker lettering on a note or label. Its bouncy shapes and rounded finishes give it a cheerful, informal voice suited to lighthearted messaging.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush handwriting with a friendly, modern casualness. The goal appears to be high-impact script that feels human and expressive without becoming overly ornate.
Stroke endings often taper or round off rather than forming sharp serifs, and curves dominate over straight geometry. Spacing and character widths vary subtly, reinforcing the hand-drawn feel while keeping words readable at display sizes.
