A brush-pen script with thick, inky main strokes and noticeably tapered entries, exits, and join points. Letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with rounded bowls, soft terminals, and occasional teardrop-like dots and endings. The texture is intentionally uneven and handmade, showing subtle variation in stroke weight and width from glyph to glyph while keeping a consistent overall rhythm. Uppercase forms are bold and simple, while lowercase adds more cursive movement and looping in letters like g, j, y, and z.
This style is well suited to short display text where personality matters: logos and badges, packaging callouts, posters, social graphics, and greeting-card style headlines. It works best at medium to large sizes where the brush texture and tapered terminals can be appreciated without filling in.
The font conveys an upbeat, informal tone—like quick marker lettering used for personal notes, café boards, or crafty branding. Its lively stroke modulation and bouncy curves feel approachable and energetic rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to mimic confident brush lettering in a clean, bold display script—capturing the spontaneity of hand-drawn marks while staying consistent enough for cohesive titles and brand phrases.
Connections in the lowercase are suggestive of continuous writing, but spacing and joins remain loose enough to keep words open and readable. Numerals follow the same brush logic with rounded shapes and tapered starts, matching the expressive, hand-drawn texture of the alphabet.
