A lively handwritten print with a brush-pen feel, built from smooth, rounded strokes and gently tapered terminals. The forms lean forward with a consistent slant and a springy baseline rhythm, mixing broad curves with occasional sharper joins for a natural, hand-drawn cadence. Counters are open and generous, and proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet an authentic, human irregularity while staying visually cohesive. Numerals and capitals maintain the same energetic stroke behavior, with soft corners and compact, punchy silhouettes.
Well-suited to short-to-medium phrases where personality matters—packaging callouts, posters, casual branding, social media graphics, and expressive headlines. It can also work for quotes or invitations when set with comfortable spacing and ample size to preserve its brush texture and open counters.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like quick signage or a confident marker note. Its bouncy motion and rounded shapes communicate optimism and ease, with a hint of sporty energy that keeps it from feeling delicate or precious.
Designed to deliver an informal, hand-lettered presence that feels quick, confident, and personable. The consistent forward lean and rounded brush shapes suggest an aim to balance readability with expressive motion for modern, friendly display typography.
In running text, the slant and thick strokes create strong word shapes and clear emphasis, while tighter interior spaces can make very small sizes feel dense. The character set shown favors smooth brush movement over strict geometric consistency, which reads as intentional and adds charm.
