A casual handwritten print with smooth, monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow with a lively, slightly uneven rhythm, balancing clean verticals with occasional wobble and gentle curvature. Bowls and counters stay open and legible, while several forms introduce subtle loops and hook-like joins (notably in g, j, and y), giving the alphabet a personable, drawn-by-hand consistency without looking messy. Numerals follow the same simple, rounded construction and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well-suited to applications that benefit from an approachable, personal voice such as children’s materials, casual packaging, labels, invitations, greeting cards, and social or lifestyle graphics. It can work for short paragraphs and quotes where a handwritten tone is desired, and is especially effective at medium to large sizes where the subtle stroke wobble reads as intentional charm.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like neat marker or pen lettering used for everyday notes. Its mild quirks and springy shapes add a lighthearted, conversational feel, making text read friendly rather than formal or technical.
Designed to mimic tidy, everyday hand printing with a consistent monoline tool feel, prioritizing friendliness and readability over precision. The set aims for a natural handwritten rhythm—slightly irregular but controlled—so it feels human in longer words and sentences.
Capitals are simple and clear with minimal decoration, while lowercase adds more character through descenders and looped details. Spacing appears modest and even, supporting continuous reading in short blocks while keeping an unmistakably handwritten texture.
