A casual, hand-drawn print face with brush-like strokes and a gently forward slant. Letters are tall and condensed with visibly variable stroke widths, producing crisp thick–thin contrast and tapered terminals. Curves are rounded and slightly irregular, with bouncy baselines and subtle wobble that reinforces the handmade rhythm. Counters stay fairly open despite the narrow proportions, and the overall texture reads bold and energetic in text.
Well-suited for short to medium display text where a friendly handmade voice is desired—headlines, poster copy, packaging callouts, brand marks, and social graphics. It also works for playful editorial pull quotes and signage, especially when you want bold texture without connecting script letterforms.
The font conveys an upbeat, personable tone—informal, approachable, and slightly quirky. Its lively stroke modulation and uneven, drawn-by-hand cadence suggest spontaneity and warmth rather than precision or formality.
Likely designed to capture the feel of quick brush lettering in an unconnected print style, balancing expressive contrast and narrow proportions with enough openness for legible display text. The goal appears to be a cheerful, handcrafted presence that stands out in headlines while remaining easy to set.
Capital forms feel expressive and slightly theatrical, while lowercase remains simple and readable, keeping paragraphs coherent at display sizes. Numerals echo the same brushy construction with a handwritten personality, and the spacing appears intentionally variable to preserve a natural, penned look.
