A slanted, brush-pen style with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered stroke endings. Letterforms show a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm and varied stroke pressure, with subtle roughness and ink-texture along curves and joins that gives the contours a worn, lived-in feel. Capitals are compact and energetic, while the lowercase leans more cursive, mixing open bowls with occasional looped ascenders/descenders; counters stay fairly small and the overall color remains lively rather than even.
Best suited for short to medium-length display text where personality is the priority—posters, packaging callouts, café or boutique branding, book covers, and pull quotes. The textured contrast and slanted movement help it stand out at larger sizes, especially in promotional and lifestyle-oriented layouts.
The font reads as personable and hand-made, with a spirited, informal tone. Its textured, pressure-driven strokes evoke marker or brush lettering, suggesting a vintage-leaning, crafted sensibility rather than polished corporate neutrality.
The design intention appears to capture quick, confident brush handwriting with visible stroke texture and expressive contrast. It aims to deliver an authentic, slightly roughened sign-paint/marker feel while remaining readable for energetic display settings.
Spacing appears intentionally uneven in a handwritten way, with some letters feeling wider or more condensed depending on stroke construction, enhancing the natural rhythm. The numerals follow the same brush logic, with distinctive swashes and rounded terminals that keep them consistent with the letterforms.
