A casual hand-drawn print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms lean slightly backward and maintain a lively, uneven rhythm, with subtle wobble in curves and joints that preserves a natural marker-pen feel. Proportions are compact and somewhat tall, with open counters and simplified construction; widths vary modestly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade texture. Figures are simple and legible, matching the alphabet’s informal, lightly irregular geometry.
Well-suited to posters, packaging, and headline treatments where an approachable handmade tone is desired. It also fits kid-oriented materials, casual invitations, social graphics, and short blocks of large text where its organic rhythm can read clearly.
The overall tone is friendly and relaxed, like neat handwriting on a poster or classroom note. Its gentle bounce and soft edges give it a playful, personable voice without becoming overly decorative or chaotic.
Designed to mimic an informal, carefully written marker print: clean enough to read quickly, but intentionally imperfect to feel personal and human. The slight back-lean and rounded strokes appear aimed at creating a distinctive, friendly voice for everyday display typography.
Uppercase forms stay straightforward and clean, while lowercase adds more character through varied bowls and playful descenders (notably in letters like g, j, and y). The sample text shows good readability at display and large text sizes, with the slight back-lean and organic spacing creating an inviting, conversational flow.
