A compact, hand-drawn print style with rounded terminals and an almost monoline stroke that stays visually even from letter to letter. Forms are tall and slim with slightly irregular widths, giving lines a lively rhythm without feeling messy. Curves are generously softened (notably in C, O, S, and numerals), and many joins and endings taper subtly into blunted, brush-like tips. Lowercase shows simple, single-storey constructions and a small x-height relative to the ascenders, contributing to a vertical, airy texture in text.
Well-suited to short display copy where personality matters—such as posters, packaging, café menus, greeting cards, craft branding, and kid-friendly materials. It can also work for brief captions or pull quotes when a casual, handmade voice is desired, but the narrow, tall rhythm favors larger sizes over dense body text.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a lighthearted, handmade character that feels approachable and slightly whimsical. Its gentle irregularities suggest personal signage or notebook lettering, projecting friendliness rather than precision or authority.
Likely designed to capture the charm of quick, confident hand printing—clean enough to set in words and sentences, but intentionally imperfect to retain a human, playful feel.
Capitals are prominent and narrow, creating strong vertical emphasis in headlines. Spacing appears open enough for readability, though the tall proportions and rounded details make it feel more expressive than utilitarian. Numerals follow the same soft, drawn treatment and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
