A compact, brush-pen style print with thick, rounded strokes and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms are slightly irregular in width and rhythm, with a lively baseline bounce and generous rounded corners that keep the texture smooth rather than scratchy. Counters are small and sometimes partially closed, producing a dense color at text sizes. Capitals are tall and narrow with simplified construction, while lowercase forms stay compact with short ascenders and descenders, emphasizing a tight, vertical silhouette. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with curved, open shapes and modest differentiation between similar figures.
Works best in short to medium-length settings such as headlines, posters, product labels, social graphics, and pull quotes where a friendly, handcrafted voice is desired. It can also add personality to invitations or menu-style layouts, especially when paired with a simpler sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like quick marker lettering for notes, menus, or packaging. Its energetic, human cadence reads approachable and playful rather than polished or corporate, giving layouts a personable, homemade feel.
Designed to emulate fast, confident hand lettering with an easygoing brush-pen character, prioritizing personality and punch over strict geometric consistency.
The stroke endings and joins suggest a felt-tip or brush marker, with occasional swelling and subtle wobble that reinforces authenticity. Spacing feels naturally tight, so it builds a strong, dark typographic texture in lines of text.
