A hand-drawn print face with mostly unconnected, monoline strokes and gently uneven contours. Letterforms are tall and relatively compact in width, with soft curves, occasional asymmetry, and subtly irregular terminals that mimic pen pressure and speed. Curves and bowls stay open and readable, while joins and diagonals (notably in K, N, W, and y) show a natural, sketched rhythm rather than rigid geometry. The numerals follow the same informal construction, with simple, lightly styled figures and a consistent, lightly textured line quality.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, human voice is desired—such as children’s materials, casual packaging labels, café menus, greeting cards, and posters. It can also add character to pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts when used with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a lightly whimsical, storybook feel. Its small inconsistencies and hand-made rhythm add warmth and approachability, making text feel conversational rather than formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick, neat handwriting while keeping forms legible and consistent enough for setting phrases and paragraphs. The goal appears to be a warm, informal print style with a lightly whimsical presence for approachable display and text accents.
Capitals appear slightly taller and more expressive than the lowercase, which reinforces a lively headline presence. Spacing feels naturally uneven in a way that suits hand lettering, and the texture stays consistent across letters and figures without looking overly distressed.
