A lively, brush-pen style print with thick, slightly tapered strokes and visible texture along curves and terminals. The letterforms show a consistent forward slant and a compact vertical proportion, with rounded bowls and simplified construction that favors speed and momentum over precision. Stroke endings are mostly blunt or softly hooked, and spacing feels irregular in a natural, handwritten way, giving words a bouncy rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same marker-like logic, staying sturdy and high-contrast enough for display while retaining an imperfect, hand-rendered edge.
Works best in short-to-medium display settings where personality matters: posters, packaging callouts, storefront-style headlines, social graphics, and casual branding. It can also suit quotes or short passages when set with generous leading to preserve the airy, handwritten rhythm.
The overall tone is informal and spirited, with a confident, friendly presence that reads like quick signage or notes made with a brush marker. Its slightly rough edges and energetic slant add personality and motion, making it feel approachable rather than refined.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-drawn brush lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing expressiveness, speed, and a natural human cadence. The goal appears to be a bold, friendly display voice that feels authentic and slightly rough around the edges.
Capitals have a strong poster-like weight and simplified shapes that hold up well at larger sizes, while lowercase maintains a quick, sketchy cadence with noticeable variation from glyph to glyph. The texture is subtle but persistent, contributing to a tactile, analog feel in longer lines of text.
