A lively, brush-pen style print with a consistent rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes show visible pressure modulation, producing tapered entry/exit terminals and slightly swollen curves, with subtly ragged edges that retain a drawn texture. Letterforms are largely unconnected, with open counters and simplified construction; widths vary by glyph, creating an organic rhythm while maintaining steady overall color. The lowercase sits relatively low against tall ascenders and occasional deep descenders, giving lines a bouncy vertical profile.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a human, energetic feel is desirable—such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, social media graphics, and quote treatments. It can work for brief paragraphs at larger sizes, especially when a casual, hand-rendered voice is preferred over formal readability.
The tone is informal and personable, combining quick handwritten momentum with a confident, poster-ready presence. It reads as upbeat and conversational, with enough edge and texture to feel authentic rather than polished.
Designed to mimic fast, confident handwriting made with a brush pen or marker, balancing legibility with expressive stroke movement. The goal appears to be an approachable, informal display hand that brings motion and personality to branding and editorial accents.
Uppercase forms lean toward broad, gesture-driven shapes, while lowercase maintains quick, note-like strokes and compact spacing. Numerals follow the same brushed logic, with rounded shapes and tapered ends that keep them visually consistent with the alphabet.
