A lively handwritten print with a rightward slant and smooth, monoline strokes. Letters are rounded and open, with gently tapered, brush-like terminals and slightly uneven stroke edges that preserve a drawn-by-hand feel. Proportions are relaxed and a bit bouncy, with occasional width variation from glyph to glyph and simple, unconnected construction across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same informal rhythm, mixing broad curves with quick, flicked finishing strokes for a cohesive, sketchy texture in text.
Well-suited to packaging, posters, and social media graphics where a friendly handmade tone is desired. It also fits greeting cards, invitations, classroom materials, and other upbeat editorial accents, especially at display sizes where the gestural terminals and bouncy rhythm are most visible.
The overall tone is warm and informal, evoking quick marker or brush note-taking rather than polished calligraphy. Its buoyant rhythm and soft curves read as upbeat and personable, lending a conversational voice to headlines and short passages.
Designed to mimic natural, quick handwritten printing with a smooth brush/marker feel, prioritizing approachability and personality over rigid typographic uniformity. The consistent slant and rounded construction aim to keep text energetic while staying readable in short to medium runs.
Counters remain generous and shapes stay legible despite the loose, gestural construction. The italic lean is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping blocks of text form a cohesive forward-moving flow.
