A lively, brush-leaning handwritten print with a consistent rightward slant and visibly tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are built from chunky, rounded strokes that show slight wobble and pressure variation, giving a drawn-on-paper texture rather than a polished geometric finish. Counters are generally open and generous, terminals are soft and slightly blunted, and proportions vary naturally from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven, human rhythm. The uppercase feels compact and punchy, while the lowercase is looser with simple, single-storey constructions and minimal joining behavior.
Works best for short to medium-length text where personality is desired—posters, headlines, product packaging, menu callouts, social graphics, and pull quotes. It can also suit children’s or lifestyle-oriented materials, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting copy.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, with a sketchy confidence that reads as personable rather than precious. It suggests quick marker notes, casual branding, and friendly signage—expressive enough to feel animated, but still structured enough to read in short passages.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with marker-like strokes: expressive, approachable, and legible without looking overly refined. The goal appears to be a practical, everyday handwritten voice that adds warmth and motion to titles and emphasis text.
Texture comes from subtle stroke roughness and small irregularities at joins and curves, which adds character at display sizes. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with rounded shapes and slightly inconsistent widths, reinforcing the casual, made-by-hand feel.
