A lively handwritten print with a consistent rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes are mostly smooth and tapered at terminals, with occasional swelling through curves that suggests pressure changes rather than rigid modulation. Letterforms are tall and condensed with a quick, upright rhythm; curves are narrow and counters are compact, keeping the texture tight. Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive, informal construction, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and slightly irregular stroke starts and finishes that preserve a hand-made cadence.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where personality matters: posters, packaging callouts, café or lifestyle branding, social graphics, and editorial headlines. It can also work for quotes or subheads when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is approachable and conversational, with an energetic, spontaneous personality. Its narrow, brisk rhythm reads as modern and urban, while the brushed edges keep it human and relaxed rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate quick marker or brush lettering in an unconnected print style, balancing legibility with expressive, hand-drawn energy. The narrow proportions and consistent slant aim to create a fast, contemporary texture that feels personal and informal.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a realistic handwritten way, with some letters (notably round forms and diagonals) occupying slightly different widths, adding to the organic flow. Numerals match the same slanted, brushy construction and remain legible at display sizes, with distinctive, handwritten curves and tapered ends.
