A casual handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, showing noticeable stroke modulation and slightly irregular, organic contours. Letterforms are mostly upright with a gentle forward flow, rounded turns, and occasional looped joins, while spacing and widths vary to preserve an authentic hand-drawn rhythm. Capitals are simple and tall, lowercase forms are compact with soft terminals, and several letters feature small entry/exit strokes that suggest quick pen lifts rather than fully continuous connections.
This style works well for short-to-medium text where personality matters: brand marks, product labels, café menus, posters, and social graphics. It can also add an informal accent to invitations, greeting cards, and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the stroke contrast and lively rhythm read clearly.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lighthearted, personal voice that feels like neat marker lettering. Its bouncy rhythm and inky contrast give it an expressive, conversational character suited to informal, human-centered messaging.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of quick brush handwriting while staying legible and orderly enough for display use. It balances tidy construction with small irregularities to maintain a believable, human-made feel.
The numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing straightforward shapes with a few distinctive quirks (notably the more calligraphic 2 and 3). Stroke endings alternate between tapered flicks and blunt stops, reinforcing the brush-like texture and handmade variability across the set.
