A casual handwritten print with monoline, brush-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are compact and generally tall relative to their widths, with a lively, uneven rhythm and slight baseline wobble that reinforces the hand-drawn feel. Curves are full and simplified, counters are open, and joins are smooth rather than angular, giving the alphabet a cohesive, marker-pen texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a warm, human voice is desired: packaging callouts, café/retail branding, poster headlines, social posts, and DIY-style invitations. It works especially well when paired with clean sans or serif text for supporting copy.
The font conveys an easygoing, friendly tone—like quick notes, labels, or journaling written with a felt-tip pen. Its relaxed irregularities and bouncy proportions read as informal and personable rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, everyday handwriting in an unconnected print style, prioritizing approachability and quick legibility while preserving natural stroke variation and an informal cadence.
Uppercase forms are simple and legible with gentle quirks (notably in rounded letters like O/Q and in diagonals like K/X), while lowercase maintains a consistent handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same soft, drawn construction, with rounded shapes and minimal detailing for quick readability.
