A slanted, hand-drawn print face with brush-like strokes and slightly irregular contours. Letterforms are narrow and upright in structure but consistently italicized, with variable widths and a lively baseline rhythm that reads as written quickly by hand. Strokes show moderate thick–thin movement and tapered terminals, with occasional hooked starts and soft, rounded joins that reinforce an organic feel. Counters are generally open and simplified, and the lowercase appears compact with relatively short bodies and tall, prominent ascenders and descenders.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a casual, human voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, greeting cards, invitations, and quote-based layouts. It works particularly well for headings, captions, and emphasis lines where the brushy texture and slanted rhythm can add warmth and movement.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like a quick marker or brush-pen note. Its energetic slant and bouncy spacing give it a conversational, upbeat character that feels approachable rather than polished or formal.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of informal handwriting in a clean, unconnected print style. Its narrow, slanted forms and brush-like modulation aim to provide a lively, personal alternative to neutral sans faces while remaining legible in display use.
Caps and lowercase mix comfortably, with caps offering a slightly more gestural, sign-like presence while the lowercase stays simple and readable. The numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and casual, unforced proportions.
