A lively brush-pen script with thick, rounded strokes and visibly organic edges. Letterforms lean forward with a bouncy baseline and slightly variable proportions, creating an uneven, hand-made rhythm. Terminals are soft and blunted, counters are compact, and many shapes simplify into bold, flowing strokes that read cleanly at display sizes. Uppercase forms are tall and assertive, while lowercase maintains a compact body with prominent ascenders/descenders and occasional loose joins that suggest fast handwriting rather than strict calligraphy.
Well suited for short display text where a warm, hand-lettered voice is desired—such as headlines, posters, labels, café menus, and brand marks. It also works for pull quotes and social graphics, especially when paired with a simpler sans for supporting copy.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like handwritten marker lettering used for notes, packaging, or social content. Its forward slant and broad strokes add energy and approachability, while the brush texture keeps it personal and crafty rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture quick, expressive brush handwriting with bold, rounded forms and an intentionally imperfect finish. The goal appears to be high-impact friendliness: strong stroke weight for visibility, combined with natural wobble and texture to keep the lettering human and relaxed.
Spacing feels naturally irregular in a way that reinforces authenticity; the texture and stroke swelling can start to fill in at smaller sizes, especially in tighter counters. Numerals match the brushy construction and maintain the same casual, hand-drawn character.
