A hand-drawn, monoline print style with softly rounded terminals and subtly uneven stroke flow. Letterforms are compact and narrow with a lively, slightly jittery baseline rhythm and variable glyph widths that keep the texture informal. Curves are open and simplified, counters are small-to-moderate, and joins show the natural wobble of marker or pen drawing rather than mechanical geometry.
Well suited to children’s materials, casual posters, playful packaging, greeting cards, invitations, and craft-oriented branding where a personal, hand-lettered voice is desired. It works best at display and short-text sizes where its irregular rhythm and narrow proportions can read as intentional character rather than noise.
The overall tone is light, approachable, and a bit mischievous, with a homemade charm that feels conversational. Its irregularities add personality and humor, making it read as friendly and informal rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate quick, neat handwriting in an unconnected print style, prioritizing warmth and personality over strict uniformity. The compact proportions and rounded strokes aim to keep text readable while preserving the spontaneity of a drawn marker/pen aesthetic.
Capitals lean toward simple, sign-like constructions, while the lowercase keeps a small x-height and clear, unconnected shapes. Numerals match the same casual hand-drawn logic with rounded forms and mild inconsistency that reinforces an authentic handwritten feel.
