A slanted handwritten print with brush-pen character and open, airy forms. Strokes show modest, organic thick–thin changes and tapered terminals, with slight waviness that preserves the feel of quick hand movement. Letter shapes are mostly unconnected, with a variable, lively rhythm and slightly irregular baselines. Capitals are lean and gestural, while lowercase stays small and compact, creating a pronounced size contrast between cases.
Well-suited to short, expressive text where a human touch is desirable—greeting cards, invitations, labels, and lifestyle packaging. It also works for display lines in posters, pull quotes, and cover titling where the lively slant and brushy texture can carry the mood.
The overall tone is personal and spontaneous, like an informal note written with a flexible pen. Its brisk, sketch-like motion reads energetic and human, balancing elegance with casualness rather than aiming for strict precision.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident handwriting in an unconnected print style, emphasizing motion and personality over geometric regularity. The narrow, tilted forms and tapered strokes suggest a brush or flexible pen approach intended for expressive display use.
Spacing appears loose and uneven in a natural way, which enhances the handwritten authenticity but can make long passages feel busy at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, lightly tapered strokes that blend smoothly with the letterforms.
