A brisk, handwritten print face with a consistent rightward slant and a brush-pen look. Strokes show subtle pressure modulation with tapered entries and exits, giving letters a lively rhythm rather than geometric regularity. Forms are compact and slightly condensed, with simplified, open counters and rounded terminals; capitals are tall and gestural while lowercase stays small and quick, keeping a sketchbook-like texture across lines of text. Numerals follow the same informal, slightly angled construction and maintain the overall momentum.
Works best in short to medium lengths where a personal, energetic voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, invitations, and quote treatments. It can also serve as a secondary accent face alongside a neutral text font, especially for emphasis, labels, or informal UI moments.
The tone is informal and upbeat, suggesting quick notes, personal signage, and conversational headlines. Its brisk slant and brushy tapering feel expressive without becoming overly decorative, balancing spontaneity with readability.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick brush handwriting in a clean, unconnected print style, prioritizing personality and motion over strict uniformity. The goal appears to be an approachable, contemporary hand-lettered feel suitable for branding accents and expressive display use.
Spacing and letter widths vary in a natural handwritten way, which adds charm but also creates a textured color in longer passages. The capital set reads as more assertive and display-oriented, while the lowercase carries a lighter, more casual cadence in words.
