A compact, right-leaning handwritten print with thick, rounded strokes and smooth, brush-like terminals. The letterforms are slightly irregular in width and curvature, creating a lively rhythm while staying consistent enough for continuous text. Counters are fairly tight, joins are mostly unconnected, and many shapes show subtle swelling and tapering that suggests marker or brush pressure. Capitals are sturdy and simplified, while lowercase forms are more elastic with occasional looped or hooked endings and a single-storey feel where applicable.
Well suited for posters, packaging, and product labels where an informal, handmade voice is desired. It works especially well for short headlines, callouts, menus, and social media graphics that benefit from bold, personable lettering.
The overall tone is approachable and energetic, with a casual, human warmth that reads as upbeat rather than formal. Its bounce and soft corners give it a lighthearted, nostalgic flavor suited to friendly messaging and expressive emphasis.
Designed to mimic confident marker/brush lettering in a clean, repeatable font, balancing hand-drawn spontaneity with enough uniformity for readable phrases. The goal appears to be an inviting, punchy display style that feels personal and energetic.
The slant and heavy stroke weight give the font strong presence at display sizes, while the slightly condensed proportions help it fit compact headlines. Numerals match the same rounded, hand-drawn character and maintain consistent color in a line of text.
