A casual brush-style handwritten that mixes open, rounded forms with a steady rightward slant. Strokes show modest width variation and soft, slightly tapered terminals, giving the impression of quick marker or brush writing rather than a rigid pen script. Proportions are compact and narrow overall, with relatively small lowercase bodies and taller, more expressive ascenders and capitals. Spacing is a bit irregular by design, creating a natural handwritten rhythm while keeping letters clearly separated and readable.
This font suits short-to-medium text where a human, spontaneous voice is desirable—such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, invitations, and quote treatments. It performs best at display sizes where the brush texture and slant can contribute character without relying on strict uniformity.
The tone is informal and personable, with an energetic, on-the-fly feel that reads like a friendly note or a quick headline written by hand. Its slightly bouncy movement and smooth curves keep it upbeat and inviting rather than formal or refined.
The design appears intended to provide an easygoing handwritten alternative for display use: expressive enough to feel personal and handcrafted, yet structured enough to remain legible across a wide set of letters and numbers.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, helping with emphasis in titles, while lowercase maintains a simplified, print-like structure for legibility. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and slight stroke taper that keeps them visually consistent with the letters.
