A lively brush-pen script with compact proportions and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with heavy downstrokes and tapered entry/exit strokes that create crisp terminals. Letterforms are rounded and slightly bouncy on the baseline, with simplified joins and occasional open connections that keep counters clear. Capitals are tall and looser in structure, while lowercase forms are more rhythmically connected, producing a quick handwritten texture in text settings.
Well-suited to short, prominent text such as logos, headlines, product labels, and social graphics where a handmade voice is desired. It also works for invitations, greeting cards, and casual editorial pull-quotes when set with generous size and breathing room.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like confident marker lettering used for notes, labels, or informal signage. Its energetic stroke endings and springy rhythm give it a modern, upbeat feel rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to mimic fast, confident brush handwriting while staying cohesive across the character set. The intent appears to balance expressive stroke modulation with legible, compact forms for impactful display use.
The numeral set follows the same brush logic, with soft curves and tapered starts that match the alphabet. In continuous text, the texture is dense and punchy, with noticeable stroke contrast and compact spacing that reads best at larger sizes.
