A compact, right-leaning handwritten print with smooth, brush-like strokes and rounded terminals. The forms are simplified and slightly bouncy, with gently irregular curves and subtly uneven stroke endings that mimic quick marker lettering. Spacing and widths vary by character, creating a lively rhythm, while counters stay fairly open for an informal script-like readability. Capitals are tall and narrow with soft joins and occasional hook-like entries; lowercase maintains a modest x-height and a light, flowing baseline wobble.
Works well for short to medium display text where a casual, human tone is desired—such as posters, packaging labels, social media graphics, greeting-style messaging, and pull quotes. It can also suit branding accents when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like informal handwriting on a note or label. Its lively slant and soft stroke endings give it a warm, conversational feel that reads as playful rather than formal or technical.
Designed to evoke quick, confident handwritten lettering with a narrow footprint, prioritizing personality and natural rhythm over strict uniformity. The goal appears to be an approachable, everyday note-like voice that remains legible in display sizes.
Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, rounded constructions and slight asymmetries that reinforce the drawn-by-hand character. The texture stays consistent across the set, producing an even color on the page without sharp contrast or rigid geometry.
