A casual handwritten print with a rightward slant and a loose, brush-pen rhythm. Strokes are largely monoline with subtle pressure modulation, producing softly tapered terminals and occasional heavier downstrokes. Letterforms are narrow and upright in structure but flow with uneven, human spacing and gently rounded corners; bowls and counters stay open and legible. Ascenders are prominent while the lowercase core is compact, giving the text a tall, airy texture with plenty of vertical movement.
Works best for short to medium-length display text where a human, informal voice is desired—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, café-style menus, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also serve as an accent typeface paired with a neutral sans for body copy.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick marker lettering on a note or label. Its slightly bouncy cadence reads energetic and friendly rather than polished or formal, making it well suited to conversational messaging and lighthearted branding.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with a brushy texture and natural irregularity, prioritizing warmth and spontaneity over geometric precision. The compact lowercase and tall strokes create a distinctive rhythm that helps headings feel lively and personal.
Capital forms are simple and gestural with a few distinctive, more looped shapes that add character, while lowercase remains straightforward and readable at display sizes. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with rounded forms and slight irregularities that reinforce the authentic, written-by-hand feel.
