A lively handwritten print with a right-leaning slant and mostly monoline strokes. Letterforms are narrow and tall with compact counters and a noticeably small x-height, giving the lowercase a wiry, quick-written feel. Strokes taper subtly at ends, curves are rounded, and diagonals have a brisk, gestural snap. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven, human rhythm while maintaining clear, readable silhouettes.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display copy where a friendly, handmade feel is desired: brand accents, packaging headlines, posters, invitations, greeting cards, and social content. It also works for casual UI labels or notes when a personal tone is more important than strict typographic uniformity.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—like quick notes written with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its bouncy rhythm and slightly exaggerated slant add energy without becoming chaotic, keeping the overall voice approachable and upbeat.
Designed to mimic fast, natural handwriting in an unconnected print style, balancing spontaneity with legibility. The narrow proportions and small x-height emphasize a sketchy, note-like character while the consistent stroke weight keeps text from looking overly messy.
Capitals are simple and upright in construction but still lean with the rest of the set, with a few loopy forms (notably in letters like Q) that add character. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded forms and occasional open loops, matching the overall casual texture in running text.
