A brush-pen handwritten face with energetic, forward-leaning strokes and a soft, rounded finish. Letterforms show noticeable stroke modulation and tapering, with occasional ink-like thickening at curves and joins. Proportions are compact and upright-to-slightly slanted, with tall ascenders/descenders and a relatively small lowercase body, giving the line a lively up-and-down rhythm. Spacing is loose and natural rather than strictly uniform, and forms remain legible while preserving an intentionally imperfect, hand-drawn texture.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a friendly handmade voice is desired: social graphics, posters, packaging accents, menu headings, invitations, and quote-based designs. It is especially effective in headlines, subheads, and callouts where the brush texture and rhythmic forms can be appreciated.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, like quick marker lettering used for notes, labels, or casual signage. Its bouncy rhythm and brushy texture feel personal and conversational, balancing charm with readability.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush lettering with an informal, human cadence. The intent appears to be a versatile casual script that stays readable while retaining the natural variation and charm of hand-drawn writing.
Uppercase characters tend to be simplified and narrow with open counters, while lowercase forms introduce more looped, handwritten motion (notably in letters with descenders). Numerals follow the same brush logic, with rounded shapes and slight irregularity that keeps them consistent with the letterforms.
