A lively, right-leaning handwritten print with brush-pen qualities and gently tapering strokes. Letterforms are narrow and compact with a soft, rounded terminal treatment and slightly uneven, human spacing that creates a natural rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast from pressure changes, and many curves resolve into subtle hooks or flicks, especially in ascenders and descenders. Counters are open and simplified, producing a quick, sketched clarity rather than rigid construction.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where an informal, human touch is desired, such as greeting cards, packaging callouts, posters, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for quotes, headings, and labels where a friendly handwritten tone should remain readable at a glance.
The overall tone feels informal and personable—like quick notes written with a felt tip or brush marker. Its energetic slant and bouncy curves give it a cheerful, conversational voice that reads as friendly and unpretentious.
Designed to capture the speed and warmth of everyday handwriting in a clean, unconnected print style. The consistent slant, compact proportions, and brush-like modulation aim to balance personality with legibility for display-oriented applications.
Capital forms are simple and legible with occasional distinctive swashes and entry/exit strokes, while lowercase maintains a consistent, slightly compressed texture across words. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with smooth curves and small variations that reinforce the handmade character.
