A lively handwritten print with a consistent rightward slant and narrow, quick strokes. Letterforms are built from brush-pen–like marks with tapered terminals, occasional blunt ends, and visible texture that suggests dry-brush or felt-tip drag. Caps are tall and elastic with simplified, angular construction, while lowercase stays small and compact with minimal ascenders/descenders, creating a noticeably low lowercase profile against the capitals. Spacing is informal and slightly irregular, and stroke rhythm varies from letter to letter, reinforcing an organic, drawn feel while remaining readable in short lines.
Well-suited to headlines, short promotional copy, posters, packaging accents, and brand moments that benefit from a handmade voice. It can add personality to social graphics and editorial pull quotes, especially where a casual, energetic tone is desired over typographic formality.
The overall tone is casual and animated, with a slightly edgy, sketchbook energy. It feels friendly and spontaneous—more like quick headline lettering than careful calligraphy—bringing a human, improvised character to a layout.
Designed to mimic quick, confident marker or brush handwriting: narrow, slanted, and expressive, with just enough consistency to function as display text while preserving the spontaneity of hand-drawn lettering.
The font’s narrow letterforms and slanted posture create a fast, forward motion, while the textured stroke edges add grit and warmth. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and a light, bouncy rhythm that matches the text samples.
