A slanted, hand-drawn print style with brisk, brush-like strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning, with simplified constructions and occasional looped or hooked details (notably in capitals). Strokes show subtle modulation and a slightly uneven baseline rhythm, reinforcing a natural marker/brush feel while remaining clean and legible. Lowercase is compact with small counters and short ascenders/descenders relative to the overall narrow set, and numerals follow the same quick, handwritten cadence.
Works well for short to medium display copy where a casual, handwritten voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, pull quotes, and branding accents. It’s particularly effective when used for emphasis in mixed-case lines or as a secondary display style paired with a neutral text face.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick title lettering made with a felt-tip or brush pen. It feels energetic and approachable rather than polished or formal, giving text a conversational, human presence.
Designed to capture the immediacy of handwritten brush lettering in a consistent, usable font. The narrow, slanted forms and tapered strokes aim to deliver speed, warmth, and visual momentum while keeping letterforms recognizable for everyday display use.
Capitals are more gestural and signature-like than the lowercase, creating a clear hierarchy for emphasis in mixed-case settings. Spacing feels tight and vertical, which makes the face read as efficient and punchy in lines of text, especially in short phrases.
