A heavy, brush-pen style script with rounded, bulbous strokes and subtly irregular contours that preserve a drawn-by-hand feel. Letters show mostly upright posture with occasional gentle slant shifts, and a lively baseline bounce. Strokes end in soft, tapered terminals and small swells that suggest marker pressure, while counters remain open enough for clarity in most forms. Capitals are simplified and sturdy, and the overall rhythm favors smooth curves over sharp angles, with loose connections and occasional breaks typical of informal handwriting.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, product packaging, café or boutique branding, posters, and social graphics where a personable, handmade voice is needed. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the dense stroke weight and lively shapes are more effective in brief text than extended reading.
The font reads warm and approachable, with an upbeat, informal energy. Its thick, rounded shapes and slightly uneven rhythm give it a personal, crafty tone—more like a quick, confident note than formal calligraphy.
Designed to capture the look of bold, casual handwriting made with a brush pen or marker, balancing legibility with expressive, organic stroke behavior. The goal appears to be a friendly, attention-getting script that feels human and spontaneous while remaining cohesive across an alphabet and numerals.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably from letter to letter, reinforcing the handwritten cadence. Numerals are simple and friendly, matching the same rounded, brushy construction, and the overall silhouette stays dark and high-contrast against the page, making it most impactful in short phrases.
