A lively, hand-drawn print style with a pronounced rightward slant and brush-like stroke modulation. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with rounded terminals, occasional tapering, and subtle wobble that reinforces a natural pen/marker feel. The rhythm is quick and uneven in an intentional way, with small quirks in curves and joins and a generally open, readable structure across both caps and lowercase.
Works best for short-to-medium text settings where an informal, human touch is desired—such as headlines, posters, packaging accents, social graphics, and quote treatments. It can also suit labels or menu-style applications where a casual handwritten tone supports the message.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick handwritten notes or casual signage. Its energetic slant and brushy texture create a friendly, spontaneous voice that feels informal and human rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick handwriting in a clean, unconnected print form, balancing legibility with the texture and motion of a brush/marker stroke. The intent appears to be an expressive, everyday script alternative that reads clearly while still feeling personal and handmade.
Uppercase forms show simple, gestural construction with soft curves and minimal ornament, while lowercase maintains a loose, sketchy consistency with a modest baseline bounce. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and slightly varying proportions that match the text color and cadence.
