A lively handwritten print with brush-pen construction and subtly uneven edges that mimic wet-ink texture. Strokes show noticeable pressure changes, with rounded terminals and occasional blobby joins, creating a natural, improvised rhythm. Letterforms lean forward and vary slightly in width and proportion, giving lines a bouncy texture while maintaining consistent overall structure. Counters are compact and sometimes irregular, and ascenders/descenders are long and fluid, contributing to a tall, spindly silhouette in running text.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a human, hand-lettered voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, café-style menus, social graphics, quotes, and casual branding accents. It’s especially effective when set with generous size and breathing room, where the brush texture and lively rhythm can be appreciated.
The font feels personal and informal, like quick marker lettering on a note or label. Its forward slant and animated stroke endings add a friendly energy with a touch of eccentricity, making it expressive without becoming chaotic. Overall tone is approachable, crafty, and lightly whimsical.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-drawn marker/brush writing in an unconnected print style, balancing legibility with the spontaneity of real pen strokes. The slight inconsistency in width, edges, and stroke pressure appears intentional to preserve an authentic, handmade look in both single words and full sentences.
In longer samples, word shapes stay distinct thanks to clear uppercase forms and open enough spacing, though the brush texture and irregularity can build visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals share the same handwritten character, with rounded, slightly wobbly curves and a consistent pen-pressure feel.
