A narrow, hand-drawn print style with rounded terminals and slightly irregular stroke edges that preserve a consistent rhythm. Stems are mostly straight and vertical with gentle swelling and tapering, while bowls and counters stay open for clarity. Proportions feel tall and compact, with simple, upright construction and a subtly varied width across letters that keeps the line lively without becoming messy. Numerals and capitals follow the same pared-back, softly squared geometry, maintaining a cohesive, easy-reading texture in text.
Works well for packaging, posters, and short headlines where a friendly, informal voice is desired. The narrow build helps fit longer words into tight spaces, making it useful for menus, labels, classroom materials, and casual editorial callouts. It can also serve UI micro-headings or badges when a human touch is preferred over a neutral sans.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, like neat marker lettering on a sign or classroom material. Its mild quirks and bouncy proportions add personality without tipping into novelty, giving it a lighthearted, human feel.
Likely intended to deliver an informal printed-handwriting look that stays legible and consistent in real text. The design balances compactness and clarity with just enough irregularity to feel hand-made rather than mechanically geometric.
Distinctive details include rounded, slightly flattened curves, straightforward diagonals, and a generally uniform baseline presence that still shows natural hand variation. The ampersand and punctuation share the same soft, simplified drawing style, supporting cohesive setting in short phrases and display lines.
