A lively, hand-drawn print style with a brush-pen feel and noticeably tapered stroke endings. Letterforms lean forward and vary in width, mixing broad curves with occasional sharp hooks and wedge-like terminals. Strokes show subtle irregularities and pressure changes, producing medium contrast and a slightly jagged, energetic edge. Uppercase shapes are simplified and open, while lowercase forms are compact with a relatively small x-height and uneven rhythm that reinforces the handmade character.
Works best for short to medium-length display text where expressiveness is more important than strict uniformity—such as posters, packaging callouts, editorial features, book covers, and social graphics. It can also add personality to invitations or branding accents, especially when paired with a calm sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is informal and spirited, with a mischievous, storybook-like energy. Its forward slant and flicked terminals give it momentum and attitude, reading as friendly and personal rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of quick brush lettering in an unconnected print form, emphasizing motion, texture, and personality. The goal appears to be an energetic, approachable display face that feels hand-made and slightly edgy while remaining legible at typical headline sizes.
Spacing and proportions feel intentionally inconsistent in a natural, written way, which adds charm but also makes long passages feel busier. The numerals match the same brushy construction and angular flicks, keeping a cohesive texture across mixed text.
