A lively brush-pen script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a forward slant. Strokes taper into sharp entry and exit terminals, and counters are often narrow, giving the letterforms a tall, compact presence. The rhythm is bouncy and irregular in a deliberate, handmade way, with occasional extended ascenders/descenders and fluid, looped constructions. Overall spacing is tight and text color is dynamic, with noticeable stroke texture and calligraphic pressure changes.
Works best for short to medium display copy where personality is the priority—logos, product labels, café menus, event posters, invitations, and social graphics. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a simpler sans or serif for longer text.
The tone is informal and upbeat, like quick hand-lettering for notes, packaging, or social posts. Its energetic strokes and slightly unpredictable shapes feel personable and spontaneous rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate fast, confident brush lettering with a natural calligraphic stress and an intentionally imperfect, human rhythm. The goal appears to be an expressive script that feels personal and energetic while remaining legible at display sizes.
Uppercase forms read as more gestural and decorative, while the lowercase carries the main writing flow; together they create a strong handwritten contrast between display initials and body word shapes. Numerals follow the same brush logic and keep the set cohesive, leaning toward a hand-drawn, sign-paint-like character.
