A bold, brush-drawn italic with rounded terminals and a slightly irregular stroke edge that reads as marker or dry brush. Letterforms lean consistently to the right, with soft curves, compact counters, and occasional swelling where strokes turn or overlap. Proportions are uneven in a natural way—some capitals are broad and buoyant while others are more compact—creating a lively rhythm. Numerals share the same casual construction and thick, painted texture, with simplified shapes and open apertures for quick recognition.
This font suits short to medium-length display copy such as posters, product packaging, menu headings, event materials, and social media graphics. It also works well for quotes, cards, and informal branding where a handwritten, friendly voice is desired. For best results, use larger sizes and give it a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a hand-made spontaneity that feels informal rather than polished. Its energetic slant and bouncy forms suggest friendly notes, creative projects, and youthful branding. The slight roughness in the stroke edges adds warmth and personality without becoming messy.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of quick hand lettering in a bold, legible form—combining a consistent italic flow with intentionally uneven, brushy details. It prioritizes personality and momentum over strict geometric regularity.
Capitals are assertive and graphic, standing out strongly in mixed-case text, while the lowercase maintains a compact, note-like feel. The thick strokes and tight internal spaces make the design most comfortable at display sizes, where the brush texture and lively shapes can be appreciated.
