A tall, handwritten print with a breezy, sketch-like stroke and a noticeably rightward slant. Letterforms are slender and open, with long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, slightly bouncy rhythm across words. Curves are softly looped and terminals often taper into gentle hooks, giving the alphabet a fluid, pen-drawn feel while remaining unconnected. Uppercase shapes lean toward simple, gestural constructions, and the numerals echo the same narrow, looping structure with clear, single-stroke character.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—headlines, pull quotes, invitations, greeting cards, packaging accents, and social graphics. It performs especially well at larger sizes where the tall proportions and looped details can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a lighthearted, slightly whimsical energy. Its narrow, looping forms read like quick notes or casual handwriting, conveying approachability and a relaxed voice rather than formality.
Designed to capture the feel of quick, legible hand lettering—informal, airy, and expressive—while keeping characters distinct enough for everyday display use. The narrow, slanted construction and loopy terminals emphasize personality and motion over strict uniformity.
Spacing and letter widths vary in a natural, hand-made way, creating lively texture in longer lines. The slant and extended verticals become more prominent at larger sizes, where the loops and hooked terminals add distinct personality.
