A lively handwritten print with rounded, monoline strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms lean slightly with a loose, bouncy baseline and variable letter widths that create an informal rhythm. Counters are open and simplified, curves are generously rounded, and joins feel brush- or marker-like rather than constructed. Uppercase forms are simple and compact, while lowercase shows more personality with tall ascenders, soft bowls, and occasional looped details; numerals follow the same smooth, hand-drawn logic.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text in playful contexts such as children’s materials, casual branding, packaging, menus, invitations, and social posts. It can also work for headlines and pull quotes where an informal, personable voice is preferred over a polished or corporate feel.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like quick notes written with a felt-tip pen. Its uneven cadence and soft curves read as cheerful and relaxed, lending a friendly, human presence without feeling messy or aggressive.
Designed to capture the feel of quick, confident hand lettering—friendly, legible, and informal—while keeping a consistent stroke and clear shapes for practical use in display and casual text settings.
Spacing appears comfortably loose in text, helping the narrow, hand-drawn shapes stay readable. The italic-like slant and slightly irregular stroke endings add motion and spontaneity, while consistent stroke thickness keeps the texture even across lines.
