A lively brush-script with a rightward slant and confident, weighty strokes. Letterforms show broad, rounded terminals and tapered joins that mimic pressure changes from a marker or brush pen, creating a punchy rhythm with noticeable stroke modulation. Proportions are compact with a relatively low midline in the lowercase, and the overall texture is dense and dark, with smooth curves, soft corners, and slightly irregular, hand-drawn contours that keep it from feeling mechanical.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the bold brush texture can shine—logos, product packaging, café/restaurant materials, event posters, and social graphics. It also works well for pull quotes and display-sized captions, but the dense stroke and lively forms are less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a spirited, handmade energy that reads as personal and upbeat. Its bouncy movement and bold presence suggest spontaneity and friendliness rather than formality.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident hand lettering with a brush-pen feel—combining strong presence with an informal, personable voice for modern display applications.
Uppercase forms feel more like embellished script caps than traditional roman capitals, pairing naturally with the connected, flowing lowercase. Numerals are rounded and informal, matching the brushy texture and maintaining consistent visual color across mixed content.
