A casual handwritten print face with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, rounded stroke endings. Letterforms are built from simplified, brush-like curves with low modulation and slightly irregular stroke rhythm, giving an organic, drawn-by-hand feel while staying legible. Counters are open and generous, joins are minimal, and the overall spacing feels airy, with modest baseline liveliness across the set. Numerals and capitals follow the same soft, slightly bouncing construction, maintaining a cohesive texture in text.
Well-suited for informal headlines, short paragraphs, and display copy where a personable, handwritten voice is desired—such as social media graphics, invitations, packaging callouts, posters, and quote cards. It can also work for UI accents or labels when a friendly, non-corporate tone is needed.
The font reads warm and personable, with an upbeat, conversational tone that feels like quick marker or brush notes. Its slanted, rounded shapes communicate ease and informality, making it feel friendly rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, neat hand lettering with a brushy smoothness—prioritizing approachability and readability over typographic rigidity. Its consistent slant and rounded forms suggest it was drawn to deliver an energetic, informal voice in everyday messaging.
The sample text shows a smooth, even color at paragraph sizes, with enough irregularity to feel human without becoming messy. Descenders and ascenders are long and expressive, and the italic-like slant adds motion, which can make longer lines feel energetic and informal.
