A handwritten print face with a brisk rightward slant and a dry-brush feel. Strokes are slender and slightly uneven, with tapered starts and finishes that suggest quick pen or brush movement rather than constructed geometry. Letterforms are narrow and loosely proportioned, with open counters and simplified shapes that keep the rhythm light and fast. Terminals often flick into small hooks or wedges, and curves show subtle wobble that reinforces an informal, hand-drawn consistency across the set.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a personal, hand-rendered voice is desirable—headlines, pull quotes, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and social graphics. It can also work for captions or small blocks when set with generous spacing, where its lively stroke texture remains clear.
The overall tone is casual and expressive, like quick notes or a hand-lettered caption. Its lively stroke energy and slight roughness read as friendly and personal rather than polished or corporate. The slanted stance and brisk rhythm add a sense of motion and spontaneity.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, natural handwriting in a legible print style, preserving the irregularities and tapered stroke behavior that signal a real tool on paper. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and personality over strict uniformity, aiming for an approachable, human tone in display-focused settings.
Caps feel tall and gestural, with distinctive, slightly angular diagonals and occasional calligraphic swells. Lowercase has modest x-height with noticeable ascenders/descenders, giving lines a handwritten bounce. Numerals are simple and similarly slanted, matching the letterforms’ tapered, pen-led endings for a cohesive texture in mixed text.
