A lively handwritten print face with thick, brush-like strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms are mostly unconnected, with a gentle bounce along the baseline and slightly irregular proportions that feel intentionally hand-drawn. Shapes are compact and somewhat condensed, with simple bowls and open counters that stay clear even at heavier stroke widths. Capitals have a soft, informal presence, while lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions and simplified joins, reinforcing the drawn-with-a-marker feel.
Best suited for short display text such as posters, packaging, cover titles, and social graphics where a bold handmade voice is desired. It can also work well for labels, menus, and playful branding systems that benefit from an informal, human touch.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a casual, personable rhythm that reads like friendly signage or notes. Its imperfect, organic consistency adds warmth and a touch of whimsy without becoming chaotic, making it feel welcoming and conversational.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a marker/brush tool, prioritizing personality and impact over strict typographic regularity. The forms aim to feel spontaneous and friendly while remaining legible in everyday display use.
Rounded numerals and punctuation match the same brush pressure and soft edges, keeping texture consistent across mixed copy. The stroke weight is confident and dark, producing a strong color on the page that favors display settings over long, small-size reading.
