A compact, right-leaning handwritten print with thick, brush-like strokes and rounded terminals. The letterforms show gentle swelling through curves and joins, with a slightly bouncy baseline and soft, asymmetric shapes that keep the texture lively. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be narrowed, contributing to a dense, punchy color. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, informal construction, and numerals follow the same rounded, marker-style rhythm.
Works best for short to medium text where a casual, energetic handwritten feel is desirable—such as posters, product packaging, café or retail signage, social graphics, and invitations. It is especially effective in display roles where its dense weight and lively rhythm can carry a message quickly.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a spontaneous hand-made character that feels conversational rather than formal. Its soft curves and lively slant give it a warm, personable voice suited to friendly messaging and lighthearted branding.
Designed to deliver a bold, friendly handwritten impression with the clarity of unconnected print letters. The goal appears to be an expressive, brushy voice that remains legible and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals for everyday display use.
Stroke endings often taper subtly, suggesting a felt-tip or brush-pen influence, while the forms remain unconnected for clear word shapes. The texture is intentionally imperfect in a controlled way, adding personality without becoming chaotic.
