A lively, brush-pen styled print face with a consistent rightward slant and tapered stroke endings. Forms are built from quick, confident strokes with slightly irregular curves and terminals, giving a natural hand-drawn rhythm without connecting letters. Proportions are compact and somewhat condensed, with rounded counters and occasional looped details; strokes show visible modulation from pressure-like thick-to-thin transitions. The overall texture is dynamic and slightly uneven in a controlled way, helping the alphabet and numerals feel handwritten rather than geometric.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where a casual handwritten personality is desirable—posters, marketing headlines, packaging callouts, café or retail signage, and social media graphics. It can also work for invitations or informal editorial accents when set with comfortable spacing and generous leading.
The tone is informal and upbeat, with an expressive, conversational feel that reads like fast marker or brush lettering. It conveys approachability and motion—more like a personal note or casual sign than a formal typographic voice.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of brush-written print lettering—quick, legible, and expressive—while maintaining enough consistency for repeated use across titles, slogans, and branded phrases.
Capitals have a bold, gestural presence with simplified construction, while lowercase stays compact and quick, creating strong word shapes at display sizes. Numerals match the same brush logic, with open, rounded figures and energetic diagonals that keep them consistent in mixed settings.
