A lively handwritten print with gently rounded terminals and a slightly brushed stroke feel. Letterforms are mostly unconnected with subtle irregularities in curve tension and stroke endings, creating a natural, drawn rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph with open counters and a soft, slightly bouncy baseline impression; capitals are simple and legible, while lowercase shows more personality in forms like the single-storey a and g. Numerals are smooth and open, matching the same relaxed, hand-drawn construction.
Well-suited to friendly branding, packaging, and café-style menus, as well as posters, headings, and pull quotes where an approachable handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for invitations and greeting cards, especially when paired with a simple sans serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like neat marker or pen lettering used for notes and friendly signage. Its mild quirks and soft curves keep it upbeat and informal without becoming messy or overly stylized.
Likely intended to provide an easygoing, human touch with clean readability—capturing the charm of hand lettering while staying consistent enough for repeated use across titles and short passages.
The design favors clarity at display and short-text sizes, with consistent stroke color despite intentionally uneven, hand-made details. Curved letters (C, O, S) feel especially fluid, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) retain a slightly calligraphic swing that reinforces the casual rhythm.
