A lively, hand-drawn print with a forward slant and broad, brush-like strokes. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with rounded terminals and subtly tapered starts and finishes that suggest a felt-tip or brush pen. Stroke texture reads smooth and filled, with gentle modulation rather than sharp contrast, and the overall rhythm is bouncy with small irregularities in width and spacing that keep it human. Capitals are tall and simplified, while lowercase forms stay compact with restrained ascenders/descenders and single-storey constructions where expected in a handwritten style.
Well-suited to short, prominent copy such as headlines, product labels, café menus, quotes, and social graphics where an informal handwritten voice is desired. It also works for logos and brand accents when you want a friendly, crafted look rather than a polished corporate tone.
The tone is upbeat and conversational, like quick marker lettering for notes, posters, or packaging. Its slant and soft curves give it momentum and warmth, while the uneven, hand-made cadence adds charm and informality.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing personality and momentum over strict geometric regularity. The consistent slant and brush-ended strokes aim to deliver an energetic, approachable voice across both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
At larger sizes the brush character and rounded joins feel expressive and inviting; in longer text the tight proportions and lively stroke endings can make lines feel dense, so it tends to read best when given a bit of space. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and slight tilt for consistency.
