A slanted handwritten print with a brush-pen feel and mostly monoline strokes that thicken slightly at turns and terminals. Letters are compact and generally narrow, with quick, tapered endings and softly irregular contours that preserve a drawn-by-hand texture. The baseline and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; counters stay open enough for clarity, and the lowercase appears relatively small compared to the capitals with tall ascenders and a modest x-height.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where a personal, handmade voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, social media graphics, invitations, and informal branding headlines. It can also suit UI accents or labels when used at comfortable sizes to preserve the brushy details.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like quick marker lettering used for notes, menus, or casual signage. Its brisk slant and energetic stroke endings give it an expressive, conversational presence without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to simulate quick, confident hand lettering with a consistent slant and compact proportions, balancing spontaneity with legibility for everyday display use.
Capitals show simplified, gestural constructions (notably rounded forms like O/Q and open, swept strokes in S and Z), while lowercase maintains a readable print style rather than true cursive connections. Numerals match the same hand-drawn cadence, with slightly irregular widths and rounded joins that keep the set cohesive.
