A casual handwritten print with mostly monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms show gentle irregularities in curve tension and stroke endings, creating an organic, drawn-by-hand rhythm without connecting strokes. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with rounded bowls, slightly inflated counters, and occasional flourish-like hooks on entries/exits. Numerals follow the same informal logic, with open, curvy shapes and a lightly bouncy baseline feel in text.
Well-suited for short to medium text where an informal, personable tone is desired, such as greeting cards, children’s and educational materials, DIY/craft branding, playful packaging, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when a friendly handwritten feel is needed with readable letterforms.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and lightly whimsical, like neat marker or felt-tip handwriting intended to feel personal rather than polished. Its friendly shapes and small quirks add character without becoming chaotic, giving it an easygoing, conversational voice.
Designed to emulate tidy, upbeat hand printing with consistent legibility while preserving natural imperfections and a lively rhythm. The aim appears to be an approachable display-and-text hybrid that feels human and charming rather than formal or typographically strict.
Capitals are simple and open, tending toward rounded construction and modest personality strokes (notably in letters with loops and hooks). Lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a steady texture in paragraph settings, with a noticeable hand-drawn variance that keeps repeated forms from looking mechanical.
