A casual handwritten print with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, monoline strokes. Letterforms are simplified and open, with rounded terminals, gentle curves, and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm. Spacing is irregular in a natural way, and proportions vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, drawn-by-hand feel. Numerals follow the same easy, sketch-like construction and remain clear at display sizes.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as quotes, invitations, greeting cards, packaging labels, and social media graphics where an informal human touch is desired. It can also work for headings and pull quotes, especially when paired with a more neutral text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, like quick notes or a friendly label. Its lively slant and relaxed forms give it an easygoing, conversational character rather than a polished or formal one.
Designed to capture the immediacy of neat hand lettering—legible and consistent, but intentionally imperfect—so designers can add a personable, handcrafted tone without the complexity of connected script.
Ascenders and capitals feel tall and slightly elastic, while lowercase forms stay compact and straightforward. The stroke behavior suggests a steady pen or marker with minimal pressure variation, keeping the texture clean and uncluttered.
