A lively handwritten print with a consistent rightward slant and brush-pen texture. Strokes are thick and mostly even, with softly rounded terminals and occasional tapered starts/finishes that suggest quick, confident writing. Letterforms are compact and slightly compressed, with a bouncy baseline and irregular rhythm that keeps the texture organic while staying legible. The capitals are simple and robust, and the numerals follow the same informal, handwritten construction.
Well suited to posters, packaging, social media graphics, and promotional headlines where an informal, human voice is desired. It works especially well for quotes, menu-style copy, and short callouts, and is best used at medium-to-large sizes where the brushy details and bounce can be appreciated.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a spontaneous, personal feel. It reads as friendly and informal rather than polished or corporate, bringing a conversational energy to headlines and short phrases.
Designed to capture the look of quick marker or brush handwriting in a tidy, readable print style. The goal appears to be an energetic, friendly display face that adds personality without becoming overly decorative.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and breathable in text, helping the dense strokes stay clear at display sizes. The glyphs maintain a coherent style across cases and figures, with enough natural variation in curves and joins to avoid a rigid, geometric look.
