An informal handwritten print with a brisk, right-leaning rhythm and brush-like stroke behavior. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast with frequent tapered terminals, giving letters a calligraphic snap without connecting. Proportions are compact and tall-leaning, with a noticeably small x-height, open counters, and a slightly bouncy baseline that adds movement. Curves are rounded and energetic, and the overall texture alternates between bold downstrokes and fine hairline turns for a lively, textured color in text.
Works best for short to medium display text where the textured stroke contrast can read clearly—such as headlines, product labels, café menus, invitations, and social graphics. It can also add personality to quotes or subheads when paired with a calm sans or serif for longer reading.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, like quick marker lettering for notes, menus, or crafty signage. Its energetic contrast and slanted stance feel expressive and human, leaning more fun than formal while still staying legible at display sizes.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush lettering in a non-connecting print style, prioritizing personality and motion over strict geometric consistency. The narrow, slanted proportions and high-contrast modulation aim to deliver a distinctive handwritten voice that stands out in titles and branding.
Capitals are simple and upright in structure but retain the same tapered, brushed modulation as the lowercase, helping headings feel cohesive with body copy. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded forms and occasional looped construction that reinforces the casual, hand-drawn character.
