A casual, hand-drawn print style with a consistent rightward slant and a lean, compact footprint. Strokes feel largely monoline with gentle modulation from pen pressure, and terminals are slightly tapered or rounded rather than sharply cut. Curves are open and elastic, with small irregularities that keep the texture human while maintaining clear letter shapes. Proportions are tall and narrow, with modest ascenders/descenders and a straightforward, legible construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well for short to medium text where an informal, personal voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, craft and lifestyle packaging, social graphics, and quote-driven posters. It can also serve as a friendly accent for headings or pull quotes when paired with a more neutral text face.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like quick notes written with a fine marker. Its narrow, slanted rhythm adds energy and forward motion, while the soft stroke endings keep it warm and non-authoritarian.
Likely designed to capture the look of quick, neat hand lettering—narrow and slanted for efficiency, but regular enough to remain readable in sentences. The restrained contrast and simple forms suggest an emphasis on clean, everyday handwriting rather than expressive calligraphy.
Capitals read as simplified, upright-leaning forms that pair smoothly with the more fluid lowercase. Numerals match the same handwritten cadence, with rounded bowls and lightly flicked strokes that help them blend naturally into text settings.
