A compact, brush-like handwritten print with heavy, rounded strokes and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are built from simplified shapes with soft corners, slightly wavy contours, and occasional tapered terminals that suggest quick marker or brush pressure. Counters are relatively tight, curves are full and inflated, and the overall rhythm is bouncy with small, natural irregularities that keep the texture lively. Numerals and capitals follow the same informal, chunky construction, maintaining a cohesive, hand-made silhouette across the set.
Works best in short-to-medium display settings where bold, informal personality is the goal—such as posters, product packaging, labels, stickers, social graphics, and playful branding. It can also serve as an accent typeface for quotes, callouts, or title treatments where a hand-made feel is desired.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, reading like casual hand-lettering made for attention and warmth rather than formality. Its energetic slant and bold, rounded forms feel youthful and slightly retro, with a friendly confidence that suits expressive messaging.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand-lettering with a brush/marker flavor, prioritizing impact and friendliness. The simplified, rounded construction and consistent slant aim to deliver a cohesive handwritten voice that remains readable in bold display sizes.
The compact proportions and thick strokes create a strong spot-color on the page, while the subtle stroke wobble adds character without becoming messy. Spacing appears tuned for display use, with forms that stay legible but prioritize personality over strict geometric regularity.
