A slanted brush-script with thick, rounded strokes and tapered terminals that suggest a marker or brush-pen texture. Letterforms are compact and upright in rhythm, with relatively tight counters and a consistent forward lean. Capitals are stylized and slightly bouncy, mixing looped entries and simplified strokes, while lowercase forms keep a smooth, continuous flow with occasional breaks rather than strict full-connection throughout. Numerals are curvy and expressive, matching the soft, inked modulation seen across the alphabet.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, logos, product names, packaging callouts, and poster titling. It can also work well for social graphics and invitations where an informal, handwritten emphasis is desired, while longer paragraphs may feel dense due to the heavy strokes and tight internal spaces.
The font reads as upbeat and personable, with a handcrafted feel that leans playful rather than ceremonial. Its energetic slant and rounded, inky shapes give it a nostalgic sign-painter vibe that feels approachable and bold in tone.
Designed to emulate confident brush lettering with a clean, repeatable rhythm—prioritizing punchy readability at display sizes while preserving a handcrafted, expressive stroke flow.
The set shows noticeable variation in character width and a hand-drawn irregularity that adds charm, especially in repeated verticals and rounded joins. The heavy stroke weight and compact forms favor display sizes where the counters and joins have room to breathe.
