A monoline, hand-drawn print style with gently rounded strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letterforms are upright with simple, open construction and an intentionally uneven handwritten rhythm, including subtle wobble and varied curve tension. Counters are generous, curves are slightly irregular, and spacing feels airy rather than tightly engineered, producing a clean but informal texture. Numerals follow the same drawn-by-hand logic, with simple shapes and mild idiosyncrasies that keep them consistent with the alphabet.
Well suited to display text where a friendly, handmade feel is desirable: posters, stickers and labels, casual packaging, classroom or kid-oriented materials, and social media graphics. It can also work for short interface labels or captions when an informal, personal tone is needed, especially at sizes where the drawn details remain clear.
The overall tone is warm, relaxed, and lightly whimsical—more like neat marker lettering than formal typography. It reads as personable and unpretentious, lending a friendly voice to short messages and headings.
Designed to emulate tidy, unconnected handwriting with consistent stroke weight and approachable proportions. The intention appears to be a legible, everyday hand-lettered look that stays clean enough for repeated use while preserving human variability.
Ascenders are relatively prominent while lowercase bodies stay compact, creating a lively vertical cadence. Forms like the single-storey lowercase shapes and the rounded, open bowls reinforce the casual, human character without becoming messy.
