A brush-pen styled script with rounded terminals, lively stroke modulation, and a gently bouncy baseline. Letterforms are narrow and tall with compact counters, giving the words a stacked, rhythmic texture. Connections appear in many lowercase pairs, while some joins break naturally like quick handwriting. Uppercase forms are simplified and monoline-like in places, mixing with heavier downstrokes to create a casual, hand-drawn consistency across the set.
Well-suited to short, expressive settings such as packaging, posters, titles, greeting cards, and social media graphics where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It performs best at display sizes, especially in single words or short phrases where the looping connections and stroke contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like an informal note written with a marker or brush pen. Its loops and soft curves add warmth, while the narrow, energetic rhythm keeps it feeling spirited and slightly quirky rather than formal.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush lettering with an approachable, modern-casual feel. The narrow proportions and bouncy rhythm suggest an intention to deliver high-impact personality in compact headline spaces while retaining a natural handwritten flow.
Spacing is fairly tight and the interior spaces are small, so the texture reads best when given breathing room. Numerals echo the handwritten construction, with simple shapes and occasional flourishes that match the script’s motion.
