A compact, slanted handwritten print with a brush-marker feel. Strokes are thick and smooth with rounded terminals, occasional tapered starts/finishes, and subtly uneven stroke edges that mimic natural pressure. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning with tight internal spacing, creating a dense rhythm; counters stay open enough for quick recognition. Capitals are simplified and brisk, while lowercase forms remain mostly unconnected and streamlined; numerals match the same quick, slightly angled construction.
Well-suited for short, high-impact copy such as posters, banners, social graphics, packaging callouts, and product labels where an informal handwritten emphasis is desired. It also works for branding accents and section headers, especially when paired with a neutral text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, with a fast, expressive rhythm that reads as personable and direct. It conveys a modern casualness—more sporty and streetwise than elegant—suited to messages that want to feel spontaneous and approachable.
Designed to deliver a quick, handwritten signature of emphasis—like bold marker notes—while keeping letters readable and rhythmically consistent in lines of text. The compact, slanted construction aims for immediacy and personality without fully cursive connections.
The sample text shows best clarity at larger sizes, where the compact proportions and lively slant read as intentional energy rather than compression. The punctuation and curves maintain a consistent brush logic, helping the alphabet, numerals, and text setting feel cohesive.
