A lively handwritten face with brush-pen characteristics, combining thick rounded strokes with occasional tapered terminals. Letterforms show a buoyant baseline and slightly irregular stroke edges that reinforce a made-by-hand feel. The uppercase set reads as simplified print-like caps, while the lowercase leans more cursive with partial joins and looped shapes; overall spacing is open and the rhythm is energetic rather than rigidly uniform. Numerals are similarly chunky and rounded, keeping the same casual, marker-like texture across the set.
Best suited for headlines, short blurbs, and display settings where a personable handwritten tone is desired—such as posters, packaging, café menus, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also work for branding accents where an informal, handmade signature is needed, especially when set with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and a bit mischievous—like quick, confident signage or personal notes written with a felt-tip or brush marker. Its bouncy proportions and soft corners give it an upbeat, conversational voice suited to informal messaging.
Designed to emulate quick brush-marker handwriting with a balance of legibility and personality, delivering an energetic, handcrafted look without feeling overly decorative. The forms prioritize an expressive rhythm and friendly softness for attention-grabbing display text.
Distinct stroke swell and rounded ends help maintain clarity at display sizes, while the intentionally uneven joins and varying letter widths add character. The mix of print-like capitals with more flowing lowercase can create a friendly hierarchy in headings and short phrases.
