A casual, slanted handwritten print with a brushed, monolinear feel and gently tapering terminals. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning with open counters, simple construction, and a lively baseline rhythm that varies slightly from glyph to glyph. Strokes stay fairly even while showing subtle pressure changes, producing soft curves and rounded joins rather than sharp corners. Spacing is compact overall, and the figures follow the same informal, hand-drawn logic as the letters.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a personable, informal voice is needed—packaging, café and retail signage, posters, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or UI accents when set with enough size and line spacing to preserve its airy, handwritten rhythm.
The tone is warm and conversational, like quick marker notes or a personal caption. Its energetic slant and buoyant shapes read as upbeat and informal, lending a relaxed, human presence without feeling messy or chaotic.
Designed to provide an easygoing, handwritten print style that feels quick and authentic while staying clean enough for everyday display use. The consistent stroke behavior and restrained contrast suggest a focus on legibility and versatility rather than ornate penmanship.
Uppercase forms are simplified and slightly tall, pairing comfortably with the lowercase without strong calligraphic ornament. Several letters show distinctive handwritten quirks (single-storey constructions, looped descenders, and open apertures), which adds personality and helps it avoid a generic script look while remaining unconnected and readable.
