A hand-drawn print face with lively, irregular strokes and subtly varying letter widths. The forms lean on simple geometric skeletons—open bowls, narrow apertures, and rounded terminals—punctuated by occasional sharp joins and slightly pointed peaks (notably in capitals like A, M, N, W). Stroke edges look organic rather than mechanically smooth, with small fluctuations in thickness and curvature that create a sketched rhythm. Spacing is loose and uneven in a natural way, and the overall texture stays airy and uncluttered, keeping counters clear even in the lowercase.
Works well for short to medium text where a friendly, hand-made impression is desired: children’s titles, greeting cards, invitations, casual posters, craft branding, and playful packaging. It can also suit headings or pull quotes in editorial layouts when you want a human, informal accent rather than a polished typographic voice.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—like quick marker lettering on a note, classroom poster, or playful packaging. Its uneven rhythm and gentle wobble add charm and approachability, suggesting humor and lightheartedness rather than precision or formality.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of hand lettering while remaining legible and broadly usable in display and friendly text settings. Its controlled consistency—paired with intentional irregularities—aims to feel authentic and charming without becoming messy.
Capitals are tall and characterful, with simplified construction and occasional exaggerated curves (e.g., broad C/O and a looped Q). Lowercase includes single-storey shapes and straightforward, handwritten-style details, helping the font read as casual print rather than connected script. Numerals follow the same sketchy logic, with open, rounded forms and mild idiosyncrasies that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
