A lively, hand-drawn print with a subtle forward slant and tall, narrow proportions. Strokes feel brush-pen like, with gently rounded terminals and modest, natural-looking variation that gives letters a slightly wobbly, organic edge. Curves are soft and open, counters are generous, and ascenders/descenders run long, creating an airy vertical rhythm. Character widths and joins are intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing the handmade texture while keeping forms clear and readable.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where personality matters: posters, packaging, labels, social graphics, and playful branding. It can also suit headlines or pull quotes in informal editorial layouts, where its narrow, tall rhythm helps fit longer words without feeling heavy.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick marker lettering on packaging or a café sign. Its bouncy rhythm and soft shapes suggest informality and approachability, with a hint of whimsical energy.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand lettering in a consistent digital font—expressive and friendly, with enough structure for legibility while preserving the irregularities that make it feel human and spontaneous.
Uppercase forms read like simplified sign lettering—open, rounded, and slightly irregular—while the lowercase leans more cursive in spirit without fully connecting. Numerals echo the same casual, drawn-by-hand feel, with distinctive, gently curved silhouettes and uneven stroke endings that add charm in display settings.
