A lively handwritten print with a noticeable rightward slant and brush-like stroke behavior. Letterforms are compact and generally narrow, with rounded terminals, tapered joins, and occasional thickened stroke endings that suggest a marker or brush pen. Curves are slightly irregular and the rhythm is intentionally uneven, producing a bouncy baseline and varied internal counters. Uppercase forms are simplified and bold in silhouette, while lowercase maintains open, readable shapes with a single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ and a short, casual ‘t’ cross.
Well-suited to short to medium display text where personality is desired—such as posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, invitations, and product labels. It also works for playful headings and subheads paired with a neutral text face, especially when an energetic handwritten accent is needed.
The font conveys an informal, upbeat tone—like quick, confident handwriting used for notes, labels, or casual display. Its slanted stance and punchy stroke weight add energy, while the rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than aggressive.
Designed to mimic fast, expressive handwritten lettering with a brush/marker texture, prioritizing character and immediacy over strict geometric consistency. The compact proportions and forward slant aim to keep words feeling brisk and animated while remaining readable in bold, attention-getting settings.
Numerals follow the same brisk, hand-drawn logic, with simplified shapes and slightly angled stress that helps them blend smoothly with text. Spacing appears naturally inconsistent in a controlled way, reinforcing the hand-rendered feel without collapsing legibility in short passages.
