A lively handwritten print with brush-like strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are slightly slanted with rounded curves and an irregular baseline, giving a natural, drawn rhythm. Strokes show subtle pressure variation—heavier on turns and downstrokes—with occasional wobble and soft joins rather than crisp, geometric construction. Proportions are compact and tall-leaning, with airy counters and simplified shapes that keep the texture light and open in text.
Well suited to short to medium-length display text where a friendly, human voice is needed—posters, invitations, packaging, café menus, social graphics, and pull quotes. It can work in brief paragraphs at larger sizes, especially when you want an informal handwritten feel without connected script.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like quick marker lettering on a note or label. Its easygoing irregularities add warmth and personality, reading as personable and handmade rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a brush or marker, prioritizing charm and immediacy over strict uniformity. The intent appears to balance legibility with a personal, energetic texture that adds character to everyday messaging.
Capitals are expressive and somewhat decorative without becoming ornamental, helping headings feel animated. Numerals share the same casual, hand-drawn energy, with rounded forms and slight inconsistencies that reinforce authenticity. Spacing appears comfortable and text remains readable while preserving a spontaneous, sketchy character.
