replies with his typical/trademarked enthusiasm
i think you have the right idea. here are a few options:
trademark
verb [ trans. ] [usu. as adj. ] ( trademarked)• figurative identify (a habit, quality, or way of life) as typical of someone : his trademarked grandiose style.
typical
adjective
having the distinctive qualities of a particular type of person or thing : a typical day | a typical example of 1930s art deco | typical symptoms. See note at normal .
• characteristic of a particular person or thing : he brushed the incident aside with typical good humor.

Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Arcoiris
: Trademark. The Spanish original gives the impression of a sloppy translation from English, as "marca de la casa" is not the most obvious expression to mean "caracteristica"/ "tipica"/"tradicional"/"consabida"/etc etc

"trademark(ed)" is used in English in the same figurative sense...please see the dictionary definition I provided :)

I think this quote is cute:
I could not have done this without my teaching partner, Page McCorkle, and her ***ever-present enthusiasm*** and joy for teaching.
