A slanted, brush-like sans with rounded construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms show a gently “bouncy” baseline rhythm and variable, handwritten proportions, with compact counters and a relatively small x-height compared to the ascenders. Terminals are soft and slightly flared in places, with occasional wedge-like stroke endings that reinforce a marker/brush feel. Curves are broad and continuous, while joins and diagonals keep a supple, gestural quality rather than rigid geometry.
Works best for display roles such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and social media graphics where its playful rhythm can be a feature. It can also support short brand phrases, labels, and event/promotional materials that benefit from an informal, hand-rendered voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, reading as spontaneous and personable rather than formal. Its energetic slant and bouncy spacing lend a conversational, cheerful character that feels suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident brush lettering in a clean sans framework, prioritizing warmth and motion over strict typographic regularity. It aims to deliver a friendly, expressive texture that remains legible at display sizes.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent handwritten logic, with noticeable width variation across glyphs that adds charm but can create an intentionally irregular texture in longer passages. Numerals follow the same brush rhythm, staying clear and rounded with a casual, sign-painting sensibility.
