A narrow, slanted handwritten print with brush-pen energy and lightly irregular rhythm. Strokes show subtle tapering and modest contrast, with rounded terminals and occasional hooked entry/exit strokes that keep letters lively without connecting. Proportions are tall and compact, with small lowercase relative to the ascenders and a generally open, airy feel despite the tight width. The numerals and capitals follow the same informal, drawn-by-hand logic, prioritizing flow over strict geometric consistency.
Works best for short to medium display copy where a casual, handwritten feel is desired—headlines, pull quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and lifestyle packaging. It can also add personality to social posts and branding accents, especially when paired with a quieter sans for body text.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, like quick lettering on a note or label. Its slight wobble and varied stroke pressure add warmth and personality, giving text a conversational, human presence rather than a polished, formal voice.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident marker lettering: informal, narrow, and energetic, with enough consistency for repeated use while preserving the spontaneity of real handwriting.
Uppercase forms are expressive and often more dynamic than the lowercase, creating a noticeable mix of emphasis when used in title case. Counters remain fairly open for a handwritten style, and the slant plus tall proportions create forward momentum in longer lines.
