A casual hand-drawn print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms show gentle, purposeful irregularities in curve tension and stroke endings, creating an organic rhythm while maintaining clear, readable silhouettes. Proportions are slightly condensed overall, with compact counters and a lively baseline feel; curves tend toward oval shapes, and verticals have a subtly elastic, marker-like presence. The numerals and capitals follow the same simplified, rounded construction for a cohesive set.
Works well for children’s titles, playful packaging, greeting cards, and casual posters where a friendly voice is needed. It’s also a good fit for small-brand identity touchpoints (labels, social graphics, café menus) that benefit from an informal, hand-made texture, especially at display and subhead sizes.
The font reads as friendly and approachable, with a lighthearted, slightly whimsical tone. Its uneven, human cadence feels informal and conversational, suitable for designs that want warmth and personality without becoming messy or overly decorative.
The design appears intended to mimic neat hand lettering with a marker or felt-tip feel—prioritizing approachability, clarity, and a natural hand-drawn rhythm over strict geometric precision.
Uppercase forms are simple and open, while lowercase letters keep distinctive handwritten traits (single-storey forms and relaxed joins without actual connections). The overall texture stays fairly even across text, producing a consistent color that remains legible in short blocks and headlines.
