A lively, handwritten print style with a consistent rightward slant and tall, condensed proportions. Strokes feel brush- or marker-like, with subtly tapered starts and finishes and occasional thickened turns that add energy without becoming heavy. Letterforms are mostly unconnected, with simplified, open counters and a bouncy baseline rhythm; ascenders are prominent while lowercase bodies stay compact. Uppercase shapes are narrow and elongated, and numerals follow the same brisk, upright-leaning gesture with rounded terminals and quick, single-stroke constructions.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where a casual handwritten voice is desired—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, and quote treatments. It can also work for brief subheads or labels when you want a narrow footprint and an expressive, pen-drawn texture.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick note-taking with a confident hand. Its narrow, tall rhythm reads energetic and slightly dramatic, making text feel conversational and upbeat rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate fast, confident handwriting in an unconnected print style, prioritizing speed, personality, and a compact horizontal footprint. The consistent slant and tall forms aim to keep words readable while still feeling spontaneous and human.
Distinctive looped forms appear in several capitals (notably D and Q), adding character and a hint of flourish without turning into fully connected script. Spacing looks naturally uneven in a way that supports the handwritten feel, and the slant stays consistent across letters and figures.
