A lively hand-drawn print face with a pronounced rightward slant and brush-like, tapered strokes. Letterforms are compact and tall, with narrow proportions, sharp wedge terminals, and occasional ink-trap-like notches where strokes meet. The stroke rhythm suggests quick, confident pen or brush movement, with moderate contrast between thick and thin and slightly irregular curves that keep the texture organic. Counters are generally small and forms are simplified, producing a dense, energetic color in text.
Best suited to display settings such as book covers, posters, packaging, and promotional graphics where a handmade, animated voice is desired. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the tight proportions and lively stroke shapes are likely to be most effective at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels playful and story-driven, with a slightly mischievous, vintage-informal character. Its slanted, brushy construction reads friendly and animated rather than formal, evoking hand-lettered titles and casual display typography.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush writing in an unconnected print style, balancing legibility with expressive, angular terminals and a dynamic slant for attention-grabbing display use.
Uppercase shapes lean toward decorative, sign-like silhouettes, while lowercase maintains an informal printed feel with varied widths and expressive terminals. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, helping headings and short bursts of text stay stylistically consistent.
