A lively brush-pen style with a consistent rightward slant and rounded, tapered terminals. Strokes show subtle pressure variation, with heavier downstrokes and lighter connecting curves, giving a soft medium-contrast feel without sharp calligraphic edges. Letterforms are compact and slightly irregular in width, with buoyant curves and simplified structure that keeps shapes open and legible; counters are generous and joins are smooth, producing an easy, handwritten rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters: headlines, packaging callouts, café or retail signage, social posts, and logo lockups. It also works well for quotes and promotional copy when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading to preserve the lively stroke texture.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, reading like quick, confident marker lettering. Its energetic slant and soft curves suggest an informal, personable voice that feels conversational rather than formal or technical.
Designed to emulate brisk, hand-drawn brush lettering in a controlled, repeatable typeface, balancing charm and readability. The slanted stance, rounded terminals, and pressure-like modulation aim to deliver an energetic informal look that feels human without becoming messy.
Uppercase characters keep a script-like momentum while remaining unconnected, and the lowercase maintains a consistent handwritten cadence with single-storey forms and rounded dots. Numerals follow the same brushy logic, with compact shapes and friendly proportions that sit naturally alongside text.
