A brush-pen script with a rightward slant and lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered entry and exit terminals, giving the letters a painted, pressure-driven feel. Letterforms are rounded and slightly condensed with compact counters, and the baseline has a subtle bounce that keeps words feeling animated. Connections are suggested by flowing joins and exit strokes, while many letters remain clearly separated for legibility at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where an energetic handwritten voice is desired—logos, short headlines, packaging callouts, posters, invitations, and social media graphics. It performs especially well in larger sizes where the brush modulation and tapered terminals remain crisp and intentional.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, like quick marker lettering used for personal notes or cheerful signage. Its fluid motion and bold presence make it feel informal, optimistic, and expressive rather than polished or formal.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, confident brush handwriting: bold, fluid, and expressive, with enough structure to stay readable while still feeling personal and spontaneous.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, with simplified structures and occasional looped details that read well in short phrases. Numerals follow the same brush logic with strong diagonals and rounded curves, maintaining consistency with the letterforms.
