A slanted, handwritten-style print face with tall, condensed proportions and an energetic rhythm. Strokes show clear pen/brush modulation, with thicker downstrokes and hairline upstrokes, and terminals that often taper into rounded flicks. Curves are narrow and upright in structure but consistently leaned, with open counters and a slightly bouncy baseline feel. Ascenders are prominent and slim, while bowls and rounds stay tight, producing a compact, vertical texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a human, handwritten voice is desirable—headlines, pull quotes, packaging callouts, and branding accents. It can also work for invitations or lifestyle/editorial layouts, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick marker lettering refined into a consistent set. Its narrow stance and brisk slant add momentum and a lightly retro, editorial flavor, reading as friendly rather than decorative or solemn.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of quick, hand-drawn lettering while maintaining consistent proportions and spacing for reliable setting. Its condensed footprint and slanted motion suggest an emphasis on expressive, space-efficient display typography.
Capitals are simple and legible with minimal ornament, while lowercase forms introduce more character through loops and hooked terminals (notably in letters like g, j, y, and z). Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with slender forms and occasional curved terminals that keep the set cohesive in mixed copy.
