A slanted, brush-pen style sans with rounded terminals and softly irregular edges that create a lightly textured, handmade impression. Strokes show natural taper and subtle modulation, with generally open counters and simplified construction that keeps letterforms clear at display sizes. The rhythm is bouncy and informal, with slight inconsistencies in curves and joins that read as intentional draw-through rather than mechanical geometry.
Well-suited for short, expressive typography such as posters, product packaging, menu headers, social graphics, and brand marks that benefit from a handcrafted feel. It performs best from medium to large sizes where the soft edge texture and tapered strokes remain visible and intentional.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, leaning playful and nostalgic like hand-lettered signage or marker-written packaging. Its energetic slant and soft, inky texture add personality without becoming chaotic, giving it an easygoing, human voice.
The design appears intended to simulate quick, confident hand-lettering with a brush or marker, balancing legibility with a deliberately imperfect edge. It aims to bring an informal, personable character to display typography while staying consistent enough for multi-line headlines.
Uppercase forms are compact and friendly, while the lowercase carries more cursive influence and fluidity, which becomes more apparent in word settings. The numerals match the same brushy logic, with rounded shapes and occasional stroke flare that helps maintain cohesion across mixed text.
