A casual handwritten print with brush-pen energy and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes show modest contrast and frequent tapered terminals, with slightly uneven pressure that keeps the texture lively. Capitals are tall and gestural, often with open curves and occasional looped or swept entry/exit strokes, while lowercase remains compact with small bowls and a restrained, short mid-zone. Overall spacing is airy and the rhythm is bouncy, with natural irregularities that still feel cohesive across the set.
Well suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as packaging callouts, café-style signage, posters, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for quote layouts, invitations, and greeting cards where an informal, handwritten voice is desired. For longer passages, it’s likely most comfortable in larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The tone is warm and personable, like quick marker lettering on a note or packaging label. It reads as upbeat and informal, with enough expressiveness to feel human and spontaneous rather than precise or technical.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand lettering—quick, slightly imperfect, and energetic—while staying readable in short phrases. The narrow, slanted shapes and brush-like terminals aim to provide a modern, friendly scriptless handwriting alternative for display typography.
Several forms include extended swashes and long cross-strokes that add character in display use, while round letters and numerals maintain a soft, approachable feel. The sample text suggests best results at headline sizes where the lively stroke endings and loops remain clear.
