A lively handwritten print with a rightward slant and brush-pen modulation that creates tapered entries and fuller downstrokes. Forms are rounded and slightly irregular, with a buoyant baseline and variable character widths that keep the rhythm informal. Counters are generally open and simple, joins are minimal, and terminals often finish in soft flicks or bluntly rounded ends, producing a smooth, inked look rather than a sharp calligraphic one.
Works best for short to medium-length display text where a personable, handmade voice is desired—such as branding accents, product packaging, posters, invitations, and social graphics. It can also suit casual subheads or pull quotes when paired with a neutral text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like quick marker lettering used for notes, packaging, or cheerful signage. Its energetic slant and bouncy proportions convey ease and optimism without feeling overly decorative.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with a felt-tip or brush pen, prioritizing friendliness and momentum. The goal appears to be an informal print style that stays legible while retaining natural stroke variation and human irregularity.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same informal, brushy construction, with simplified structures that favor readability over strict consistency. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with rounded curves and occasional tapering that matches the letterforms.
