A brush-ink handwritten print with thick, tapered strokes and visibly textured edges that mimic a dry brush or marker. Letterforms lean forward with a bouncy baseline and variable stroke endings, creating an uneven, human rhythm rather than mechanical repetition. Counters are generally compact, joins are soft and rounded, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the set an expressive, improvised feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, and quote treatments where the brush texture and lively rhythm can be appreciated. It works well for casual branding and event or food-related materials that benefit from a handmade, energetic voice; for longer passages, its dense weight and texture are likely more effective in larger sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and spontaneous, with a spirited, slightly messy charm that reads as personal and informal. Its energetic slant and brushy texture suggest movement and enthusiasm, making it feel approachable rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-painted lettering in a repeatable font, prioritizing personality, motion, and organic imperfection. The goal appears to be an expressive display face that feels created by hand rather than typeset.
Uppercase forms are tall and gestural, while lowercase stays compact with simple, single-storey shapes and minimal internal detail. Numerals follow the same painted construction, with strong weight and irregular terminals that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
