A lively, handwritten print face with a slight rightward slant and a narrow overall stance. Strokes show brush-pen behavior with tapered entries and exits, occasional sharp flicks, and subtly uneven pressure that creates a natural, drawn texture. Letterforms are simplified and open, with rounded bowls mixed with angular, gestural diagonals; spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised rhythm. The lowercase is petite relative to the capitals, and ascenders/descenders are prominent, giving text a tall, airy silhouette despite the compact x-height.
Best suited to short to medium-length text where a human, handmade voice is desirable—posters, packaging callouts, book-cover titling, social graphics, and casual invitations. Its narrow proportions can help fit longer words into tight spaces, while the energetic stroke endings add emphasis in headlines and pull quotes.
The tone is informal and personable, combining a friendly, note-like warmth with a slightly edgy, sketchy energy from its pointed terminals and quick curves. It reads as playful and spontaneous—more like a marker or brush note than a polished display script—making it feel approachable and characterful.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with brush-like stroke modulation and an intentionally irregular rhythm. It prioritizes personality and motion over strict geometric consistency, aiming for an expressive, friendly display texture that still remains legible in common headline sizes.
Uppercase forms are especially expressive, with distinctive cross-strokes and occasional swash-like hooks that add motion in headlines. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with simple shapes and visible stroke taper that keeps them cohesive with the alphabet.
