A lively handwritten print with a right-leaning slant and brush-like stroke modulation. Forms are compact and slightly condensed, with rounded terminals, soft corners, and occasional swelling where strokes change direction. Curves are generous and open, counters stay clear, and the rhythm is intentionally irregular, giving the line a natural, human pace. Uppercase letters read simply and boldly, while lowercase shows more variation and bounce, reinforcing the informal texture.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, social posts, and quote graphics where a friendly, informal voice is desired. It can also work for invitations or educational materials when a casual, handwritten feel is preferred over strict consistency.
The overall tone feels warm, spontaneous, and conversational—more like quick marker notes than formal penmanship. Its slight wobble and elastic curves add a playful energy without becoming chaotic, making it feel personable and easygoing.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with the ease of a print script, balancing legibility with a deliberately imperfect, brush-drawn character. The intent appears to be an approachable display face that adds personality and motion to everyday messaging.
Numerals follow the same casual brush logic, with simplified silhouettes and slightly uneven stroke endings that enhance the handmade look. In paragraph settings, spacing and letterform variety create a lively texture that reads best when allowed some breathing room.
