A slanted, hand-drawn print style with brush-like stroke modulation and slightly rough edges. Letterforms are compact and somewhat tall relative to their counters, with simple, open shapes and a gently bouncing baseline that adds motion. Strokes taper at terminals and vary subtly within and across glyphs, creating a natural, written rhythm rather than mechanical consistency. Uppercase forms feel spare and upright in construction, while lowercase leans more fluid and cursive-influenced without connecting, keeping words readable but informal.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a personal, informal voice is desired, such as packaging, café menus, posters, quote graphics, and branding accents. It works especially well at display sizes where the textured stroke and tapered terminals can be appreciated.
The font conveys an easygoing, human tone—like quick marker notes or a casual handwritten label. Its uneven texture and lively slant give it energy and friendliness, with a lightly quirky character that feels approachable rather than polished or formal.
The design appears intended to replicate quick, natural handwriting in a clean print structure, balancing legibility with hand-made character. It prioritizes a lively, authentic texture and casual rhythm over strict geometric uniformity.
Spacing appears slightly irregular in a handwritten way, with some glyphs taking more room than others, which adds charm but can create a looser word color in longer passages. Numerals match the same drawn rhythm and tapered terminals, supporting mixed text without feeling like a separate system.
