A casual handwritten print with smooth, rounded strokes and gentle curve transitions. Letterforms show a slightly bouncy baseline and irregular, hand-drawn rhythm, with open counters and simplified construction that favors clarity over precision. Terminals are soft and blunt, and the overall texture is airy and even, with occasional playful hooks and looped joins in the lowercase that reinforce the drawn-by-hand character.
Well-suited to kid-focused and family-friendly design, such as storybooks, worksheets, labels, and invitations. It also works nicely for casual branding touchpoints—packaging, café menus, and social media graphics—where a warm, handwritten voice is desired at display and short-text sizes.
The font feels friendly and personable, with a lighthearted tone that reads like neat marker or pen lettering. Its relaxed proportions and subtle inconsistencies add warmth and informality, making text feel conversational and inviting rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of everyday hand lettering while remaining legible and consistent enough for paragraphs. Its rounded geometry and playful rhythm suggest an aim to communicate friendliness and simplicity across a wide range of informal applications.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and rounded, while the lowercase introduces more character through single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and gently exaggerated curves. Numerals are simple and readable with the same soft, handwritten logic, and the overall spacing appears comfortable for continuous text without looking rigid.
