A compact, brush-pen script with dense, inky strokes and visible pressure-driven modulation. Letterforms are upright with tall ascenders/descenders and a relatively small lowercase core, giving lines a vertical, energetic rhythm. Terminals are rounded and slightly tapered, and strokes show subtle wobble that reinforces a hand-drawn feel. Connection behavior is mixed—many lowercase forms flow in a cursive rhythm, while some joins break naturally, maintaining readability at display sizes.
This font fits short, attention-grabbing text where a personable handwritten voice is desired—packaging, boutique branding, posters, social graphics, invitations, and greeting cards. It performs best at medium-to-large sizes where the stroke modulation and tight spacing can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is warm, informal, and expressive, like quick marker lettering on a note or handmade sign. Its bouncy proportions and looped forms convey friendliness and a touch of whimsy without feeling chaotic.
Designed to emulate confident brush handwriting with a compact footprint, balancing expressive texture with clear, straightforward letter shapes. The goal appears to be a friendly display script that feels handmade while remaining legible in short phrases.
Capitals are simplified and narrow, pairing well with the lowercase’s loopier texture. Numerals follow the same brushy logic with tall, narrow silhouettes and rounded ends, helping text keep a consistent color across letters and figures.
