A lively handwritten print with a brush-pen feel, built from rounded strokes and tapered terminals. Letterforms lean forward and show gently uneven widths and spacing, creating a natural hand-drawn rhythm. Curves are generous and looped in places (notably in descenders and bowls), while straight strokes have slight wobble and swelling that adds texture. The lowercase reads compact with tall ascenders and expressive descenders, and the numerals follow the same soft, rounded construction for a cohesive set.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where an informal, human touch is desirable—such as packaging, café menus, small business branding, posters, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It works best at display sizes or comfortable reading sizes where the brush texture and lively rhythm can come through without looking cramped.
The tone is upbeat and personable, like quick marker lettering on a note or a café chalkboard sign. Its slight irregularities and soft curves give it an approachable, conversational voice that feels spontaneous rather than formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand lettering in a clean, unconnected print style, balancing readability with expressive stroke movement. The goal appears to be an everyday, friendly script-like energy without fully joining letters, making it versatile for casual display typography.
Capitals are simple and open, pairing easily with the more animated lowercase without feeling overly ornate. Stroke endings often finish with subtle hooks or flicks, and counters stay clear enough to preserve legibility at moderate sizes while still retaining a distinctly handmade character.
