A lively brush-pen script with rounded terminals, soft joins, and noticeable stroke modulation that mimics pressure changes. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a gentle rightward slant and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Ascenders and descenders are long and expressive, and counters stay fairly open despite the heavier downstrokes. Capitals are simplified and tall, with smooth curves and occasional loop-like entry strokes; numerals follow the same handwritten logic with varied widths and friendly, rounded shapes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its brush texture and bounce can be appreciated—such as headlines, posters, invitations, greeting cards, and casual packaging. It can also work for social content, pull quotes, and brand accents where a personable handwritten voice is desired.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with an energetic, personal feel that reads like quick marker lettering. Its rhythm and slightly irregular widths give it a human, conversational character rather than a polished calligraphic formality.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-drawn brush lettering while staying legible and cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The aim appears to be an expressive, friendly script for display applications rather than dense, continuous reading text.
Connections between letters are suggested by entry/exit strokes, but many glyphs remain semi-connected in practice, helping maintain clarity at display sizes. The texture is darker on downstrokes with lighter hairlines, producing a brushy contrast that becomes more prominent as size increases.
