A lively brush-pen script with tapered, pressure-driven strokes and visible stroke texture. Letterforms lean forward with a quick, handwritten rhythm, mixing rounded bowls and sharp, flicked terminals. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, with occasional dry-brush breaks and slightly irregular contours that reinforce a natural, drawn feel. Uppercase forms are bold and gestural, while lowercase is compact with simplified joins and a buoyant baseline that adds motion.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display text where personality matters: brand marks, product labels, café menus, event posters, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick marker lettering in a notebook or on packaging. Its energetic slant and punchy downstrokes feel upbeat and approachable, with a slightly crafty, DIY character rather than a polished calligraphic one.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting with energetic strokes and organic imperfections, prioritizing character and impact over strict uniformity. The forms aim to feel spontaneous and human, while remaining cohesive across alphabet, numerals, and mixed-case settings.
Spacing and widths vary per glyph in a handwritten way, creating a conversational texture in lines of text. Numerals and capitals carry extra flourish and weight, making them visually prominent for emphasis.
