A lively handwritten print with a consistent rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes are rounded and slightly textured, with soft tapering at terminals and occasional thickened joins that suggest variable pressure. Letterforms lean toward simplified, open shapes with a buoyant baseline rhythm and uneven, natural spacing that keeps the texture organic rather than mechanical. Capitals are slightly narrow and angled, while lowercase forms stay compact with short extenders and a modest overall vertical footprint.
Works well for short-to-medium copy where a personal, handmade voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, invitations, and quote-based designs. It is especially effective at display sizes, where the brush texture and slanted rhythm can be appreciated without looking overly busy.
The font reads as informal and personable, with the quick, sketch-like confidence of notes written in marker or brush pen. Its lively slant and bouncy rhythm give it an energetic, conversational tone suited to friendly messaging and expressive headlines.
Designed to capture the immediacy of informal handwritten lettering—quick, slanted, and expressive—while remaining clear enough for everyday display typography. The focus is on natural rhythm, brushy texture, and a friendly, human presence rather than strict typographic regularity.
Distinctive, looped numerals and brisk diagonal strokes (notably in letters like K, V, W, and X) add momentum, while rounded counters in O, Q, and e keep the texture approachable. The overall impression favors speed and gesture over strict uniformity, which is central to its charm.
