A thick, brush-like italic with rounded forms and soft, tapered stroke endings. Letter shapes are slightly irregular in width and curvature, creating a lively rhythm without sacrificing clarity. Counters are generally open, stems are sturdy, and curves are emphasized over sharp corners, giving the alphabet a smooth, informal flow. Uppercase letters read as simplified and punchy, while lowercase forms keep a compact, handwritten structure with consistent slant and generous stroke weight.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where personality matters—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, café/food concepts, and social media graphics. It can also work for large-size subheads or pull quotes, especially when a friendly, hand-made presence is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with an energetic, conversational feel. Its bouncy proportions and softened terminals suggest an easygoing, personable voice suited to informal messaging and cheerful branding.
The design appears intended to capture the look of confident, marker/brush lettering in a clean, repeatable font: bold enough to stand out, smooth enough to remain legible, and casual enough to feel human rather than mechanical.
The italic slant is consistent across cases, helping text hold together as a cohesive texture. Numerals match the same rounded, brushy construction, making mixed text (names, prices, dates) feel stylistically unified.
