A compact, brush-pen style print face with a pronounced rightward slant and thick, rounded strokes. Letterforms are constructed from broad, marker-like gestures with tapered joins and subtly uneven edges that preserve a hand-drawn texture. Counters are small and often partially closed by weight, while terminals are soft and bulbous, giving the shapes a chunky, cushioned feel. Proportions are tight and tall, with lively baseline bounce and slight irregularities across glyphs that keep the rhythm informal and organic.
Well-suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and brand marks that benefit from a handmade feel. It also works nicely for menus, café or streetwear branding, and social graphics where warmth and immediacy are more important than extended-text readability.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with an energetic, hand-lettered personality that feels informal and expressive. Its heavy brush presence and jaunty slant suggest a cheerful, street-sign or café-menu sensibility rather than a formal script.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing bold presence, speed-of-stroke energy, and a personable handmade texture for display-driven typography.
The numerals and uppercase share the same brush-driven construction, helping the set feel cohesive in mixed content. The density and tight spacing tendency make it read best when given some breathing room, especially in longer lines or smaller sizes.
