A lively brush-pen script with compact proportions and a forward slant. Strokes are thick and rounded with soft terminals and subtle, natural-looking taper where strokes start and finish. Letterforms show a bouncy baseline and slightly uneven rhythm that feels intentionally hand-drawn rather than mechanically uniform, with generous counters and simplified joins that keep the texture dark but readable.
Best suited to display use where its textured, handwritten energy can be appreciated: brand marks, packaging labels, posters, social media graphics, and short headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or emphasis in editorial layouts when used sparingly and with ample spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a casual, personal voice. Its brushy movement and springy rhythm suggest spontaneity and warmth, making it feel conversational and youthful rather than formal or corporate.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush lettering—expressive and legible at larger sizes—while keeping forms consistent enough for everyday promotional typography.
Uppercase forms read as simplified, marker-like caps that pair easily with the lowercase without overpowering it. Numerals match the same brush construction and maintain an easygoing, handwritten character suitable for short numeric callouts.
