A casual handwritten print with rounded forms and a marker-like stroke. Letters show gentle wobble, soft terminals, and slightly uneven curves that keep the texture human and informal. Counters are generally open and simple, with modest overshoots and a bouncy baseline that adds movement in running text. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a lively, non-mechanical rhythm while remaining readable at text and display sizes.
Well suited to children’s materials, casual packaging, café menus, craft and DIY branding, greeting cards, and informal posters where a human touch is desired. It also works for short paragraphs or captions when you want warmth and approachability over strict typographic precision.
The overall tone is warm, playful, and unpretentious, like quick hand lettering on a note, poster, or classroom sign. Its irregularities read as intentional and friendly rather than rough, making it feel personable and welcoming.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand printing with a consistent marker stroke and a deliberately imperfect rhythm. The aim appears to be legibility with personality—keeping letterforms simple while preserving the spontaneous feel of handwriting.
Capitals are straightforward and rounded, while lowercase keeps single-storey, simplified constructions that emphasize clarity. Numerals match the same hand-drawn texture and softness, helping mixed content (like headings with dates or counts) feel cohesive.
