A heavy, brush-influenced italic with rounded, softened forms and a gently bouncy rhythm. Strokes look like they were made with a broad marker or brush: thick bodies, tapered entries and exits, and occasional teardrop-like terminals. Counters are compact and the overall silhouette is chunky, with letterforms leaning consistently forward and showing small, calligraphic curls on select capitals and descenders. Spacing reads moderately tight at display sizes, helping the texture feel bold and cohesive.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its bold brush texture and italic energy can lead the composition—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or social graphics, especially when a friendly retro voice is desired.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a nostalgic, sign-painting feel. Its lively slant and soft, inky curves give it an informal confidence that feels welcoming rather than formal or severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, handcrafted brush look with an energetic slant and smooth, rounded finishes. It prioritizes personality and impact while keeping letter shapes consistent enough for readable display setting.
Uppercase letters carry more flourish and personality than the lowercase, which stays simpler and highly legible for a brush style. Numerals share the same rounded, weighty construction and forward motion, keeping mixed alphanumeric settings visually consistent.
