A slanted, brush-pen styled print face with thick, rounded strokes and smooth curves throughout. The letterforms show a lively, hand-drawn rhythm: strokes taper subtly at entries and exits, terminals are generally soft, and counters stay open enough to keep shapes readable despite the heavy weight. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with a gently bouncing baseline feel and compact interior spaces that contribute to a bold, marker-like presence.
Best suited for short display text where a warm, handmade voice is desired—such as posters, packaging callouts, café menus, social media graphics, and brand accents. The dense stroke weight and animated rhythm make it particularly effective for titles and punchy phrases rather than long body copy.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, conveying a personable, handwritten energy. It feels conversational and lighthearted rather than formal, with a crafted, human touch that suggests quick notes, headlines, and friendly signage.
The design appears intended to mimic confident marker or brush handwriting in a clean, unconnected print style, prioritizing personality and immediacy. Its consistent slant, rounded finishing, and variable letter widths aim to deliver a natural, hand-rendered feel while remaining broadly legible.
Capitals are simple and legible with modest flourish, while lowercase forms lean more expressive, especially in letters with loops and descenders. Numerals match the same rounded, brushy construction and maintain strong visibility at display sizes.
