A compact, hand-drawn script with thick, rounded strokes and a brush-marker feel. Letterforms are tall and narrow with soft terminals, modest stroke modulation, and slightly uneven curves that preserve a natural, handwritten rhythm. The lowercase shows frequent connecting behavior and looped constructions, while capitals remain simple and upright, blending comfortably with the text line. Spacing is tight and the overall texture is dense, producing a dark, lively page color at display sizes.
Best suited for short to medium display text where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—headlines, packaging callouts, posters, invitations, and social graphics. It can also work for labels or menu-style copy when set with generous line spacing to keep the dense texture readable.
The font conveys an upbeat, personable tone—like quick, confident handwriting on a note or menu board. Its narrow, energetic shapes and soft edges feel approachable and a bit quirky, leaning more fun than formal.
Designed to mimic quick marker handwriting with a lively, slightly irregular cadence, prioritizing personality and immediacy over strict geometric refinement. The narrow proportions and bold stroke presence aim to deliver strong impact in compact spaces while keeping an informal, human feel.
The mix of occasional joins, looped descenders, and simplified uppercase shapes creates a casual hybrid between print and cursive writing. Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten logic, with rounded forms and consistent stroke weight that keeps them visually compatible with the letters.
