A lively, marker-like hand with softly rounded forms and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and smooth with gentle modulation, showing tapered starts and ends that mimic a felt-tip or brush pen. Letter shapes favor open counters and simplified construction, with slightly irregular curves and widths that create an organic rhythm. Spacing feels airy and conversational, and the overall texture is dark and even without looking rigid or geometric.
Well suited for short-to-medium display text where a friendly, handmade feel is desirable—such as packaging, café/food branding, posters, social graphics, invitations, and informal editorial callouts. It performs best when given room to breathe, with generous line spacing for longer phrases.
The font reads as upbeat and personable, with an informal warmth that suggests quick, confident handwriting. Its bouncy shapes and soft terminals give it a cheerful, everyday tone suited to lighthearted messaging rather than formal communication.
Designed to capture the immediacy of handwritten print lettering with a smooth, brushy finish. The intention appears to be a legible, high-impact casual style that conveys personality and approachability while staying consistent enough for repeated use in branding and display settings.
Uppercase forms are compact and energetic, while lowercase maintains a consistent slant and relaxed baseline behavior. Numerals share the same rounded, handwritten logic and remain clear at display sizes, contributing to a cohesive, friendly voice across mixed-case text.
