An informal handwritten print face with a pronounced rightward slant and brisk, brush-pen stroke behavior. Forms are built from quick, tapered strokes with occasional thickenings at turns, giving a medium-contrast, ink-on-paper feel. The texture is intentionally uneven: stroke edges look slightly ragged, terminals often flick or taper, and spacing varies from letter to letter, producing a lively rhythm. Uppercase shapes are tall and narrow with angular joins and simplified construction, while lowercase is small and compact, reinforcing a very short x-height and a strong cap presence.
Best suited to short display copy such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, social graphics, and quote treatments where a hand-made voice is desirable. It can work for brief subheads or labels, but the irregular spacing and very small lowercase forms make it less comfortable for long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is casual and energetic, like fast note-taking with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its lively irregularity reads friendly and human, with a slightly edgy, sketchbook character rather than polished calligraphy.
The design appears intended to capture a quick, personal handwritten look with brushy energy and visible stroke dynamics, prioritizing expressiveness and human texture over strict consistency or typographic refinement.
Several glyphs show distinctive, individualized quirks (notably in the capitals and numerals), and the baseline alignment and sidebearings feel intentionally loose. The result is a textured, hand-drawn color that becomes more expressive at larger sizes and more chaotic when tightly set.
