A lively hand-drawn print face with simplified, softly tapered strokes and gently rounded terminals. Forms lean on tall, slightly condensed proportions and show small, intentional irregularities in curve tension and stroke endings, creating a natural, drawn-by-hand rhythm. Counters are open and uncomplicated, with a mix of rounded bowls and subtly flattened joins; width varies modestly from glyph to glyph, adding an organic cadence. Numerals and capitals keep the same informal construction, with smooth curves and occasional hook-like finishes that read as brush or marker-like pressure changes.
Well-suited to display typography where personality is a feature—posters, headlines, covers, labels, and packaging. It also fits children’s media, casual branding, event invites, and short pull quotes where a friendly, hand-made voice is desired.
The overall tone is warm and whimsical, with a storybook-like friendliness and a light retro craft feel. Its uneven cadence and soft endings make it feel approachable and human, more illustrative than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic informal hand lettering while maintaining the clarity of unconnected print shapes. It aims to deliver a distinctive, playful texture that stays legible in short-to-medium display settings.
Spacing appears airy in the sample, helping the narrower letterforms stay readable at display sizes. The design favors character over strict consistency, so texture becomes more pronounced as size increases and in longer lines.
