An informal handwritten print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are slightly right-leaning with a loose, lively rhythm and gently uneven curves that preserve a drawn-by-hand feel. Proportions are generally compact, with modest ascenders/descenders and simplified construction; counters stay open and shapes avoid sharp corners. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the natural, unmechanical texture in continuous text.
Works well for friendly headlines, short passages, and display copy where a personal voice is desired—such as greeting cards, invitations, product packaging, café menus, and quote graphics. The handwritten texture can also add warmth to posters and social media artwork, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font reads as approachable and personal, like neat handwriting in a notebook. Its mild irregularities and bouncy motion give it a playful, human tone without feeling messy or overly expressive.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-drawn lettering while staying readable in sentences. The goal appears to be an everyday, informal print style that feels human and relaxed, suitable for cheerful branding and conversational messaging.
Capitals are simple and legible with a lightly calligraphic touch, while lowercase forms keep a casual print flavor rather than fully cursive connections. Numerals share the same hand-drawn consistency, with rounded turns and an easy, informal stance.
