A compact, hand-drawn script with thick, rounded strokes and a mostly monoline feel. Letterforms are simplified and slightly irregular, with soft terminals and occasional hooked entries/exits that create a loose, semi-connected flow. The rhythm is narrow and vertical, with tall ascenders, small counters, and a bouncy baseline that keeps the texture lively. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky, marker-like construction, maintaining a cohesive, informal color on the page.
Best suited to short, expressive text such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and social media graphics. It also works well for packaging, stickers, invitations, and greeting cards where a friendly handwritten tone is desired. For longer passages, larger sizes and looser tracking help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick lettering made with a felt-tip marker. Its slightly uneven shapes and buoyant joins read as spontaneous and human, lending a warm, chatty voice suited to informal messages.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident hand lettering—informal, legible, and bold enough to stand out in display settings. The forms favor personality over strict regularity, aiming for an authentic handwritten presence.
Capitals are clean and legible with simple structures, while lowercase forms lean more cursive with intermittent connections and looped strokes. The heavy ink and tight spacing can form a strong dark texture in longer lines, making it most comfortable when given a bit of breathing room.
