A brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and softly rounded terminals. Strokes show gentle, organic modulation typical of marker/brush writing, with occasional thicker downstrokes and tapered entries and exits. Letterforms are compact and rhythmically uneven in a natural way, with frequent joining in lowercase and slightly variable character widths that keep the texture lively. Uppercase forms are simplified and slightly leaning, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase; counters are relatively small and spacing is tight, producing a dense, handwritten word shape.
Well suited to branding accents, packaging, posters, and social media graphics where a personable handwritten voice is desired. It performs best at display sizes for headlines, quotes, and short callouts, and can also work for brief subheads when adequate spacing and contrast are provided.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick handwritten notes made with a felt-tip or brush marker. Its bounce and connected flow read as upbeat and conversational, adding warmth and motion to short phrases and display lines.
Designed to emulate fast, confident brush handwriting with connected cursive flow and an expressive, contemporary feel. The focus appears to be on creating energetic word shapes and an authentic hand-made texture for attention-grabbing display typography.
Distinctive features include looped descenders (notably in g, j, y), a lively single-storey lowercase structure, and numerals that follow the same handwritten cadence and slant as the letters. The texture stays consistent across the set, with intentional irregularities that enhance the hand-drawn character rather than aiming for rigid uniformity.
