A brush-pen style with lively, slightly right-leaning letterforms and gently irregular geometry. Strokes show clear pressure modulation with tapered entries and rounded terminals, giving forms a soft, inked texture rather than rigid outlines. Proportions are compact and fairly narrow, with simple, open counters and occasional looped details (notably in curved capitals and several lowercase forms). The overall rhythm is hand-drawn and human, with small variations in stroke length and curvature that keep repeated shapes from feeling mechanical.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality is a priority: headlines, quotes, packaging callouts, greeting cards, and informal invitations. It also works well for posters and social graphics, especially when set with generous spacing so the brushy terminals and loops can breathe.
The tone is friendly and informal, with a storybook charm that reads as personable and approachable. Its calligraphic flavor adds a light sense of elegance, but the overall impression remains relaxed and conversational rather than ceremonial.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush lettering—clean enough to read smoothly, but varied enough to retain a handmade voice. The forms aim to balance calligraphic flair with everyday friendliness, providing an expressive display face for warm, character-driven typography.
Uppercase letters are distinctive and decorative without connecting strokes, while lowercase stays legible through clear silhouettes and consistent baseline behavior. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with rounded bowls and tapered ends that harmonize with the alphabet. The texture becomes more expressive at larger sizes, where the stroke modulation and terminal flicks are most noticeable.
