A casual hand-printed design with rounded, slightly irregular strokes and a mostly monoline feel. Forms are open and airy, with soft terminals and gentle curves that keep counters clear even as individual letters vary a bit in width and rhythm. Capitals are tall and narrow with simplified construction, while lowercase maintains a compact body with notably tall ascenders and descenders, giving lines a lively vertical motion. Numerals follow the same easy, drawn-by-hand logic with smooth curves and minimal angularity.
Well suited to packaging, café-style menus, posters, and social graphics where an approachable, handmade tone is desired. It works best for headlines, short captions, and brand accents, and can also serve in light body copy at comfortable sizes where its tall extenders have room to breathe.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like neat marker or pen lettering used for quick notes and friendly signage. Subtle unevenness and buoyant proportions add charm without feeling messy, creating a lighthearted, informal voice.
Designed to mimic tidy everyday handwriting while staying consistent enough for repeated use in display and messaging. The goal appears to be friendly legibility with a touch of personality—informal, simple letterforms that feel human and upbeat.
Stroke joins and curves show natural hand pressure and speed, with small inconsistencies that read as intentional character rather than distortion. The spacing and shapes favor readability in short phrases, while the long extenders and narrow capitals create a distinctive, slightly whimsical silhouette in text.
