A casual, hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a gentle, bouncy baseline rhythm and small, natural irregularities that keep repeats from feeling mechanical. Curves are soft and open, counters are generous, and joins are smooth rather than sharp, giving the alphabet a cohesive marker-like texture in both upper- and lowercase.
This font suits short-to-medium text where an informal, human touch is desirable—such as packaging callouts, café menus, classroom worksheets, party invitations, greeting cards, and cheerful display headlines. It also works well for labels and social graphics that need a friendly, non-corporate voice.
The overall tone is warm and lighthearted, like neat handwriting used for notes, labels, or classroom materials. Its soft curves and easy rhythm make it feel personable and informal without becoming overly messy.
The design appears intended to mimic tidy, everyday handwriting in a clean printed form, prioritizing approachability and readability over strict geometric precision. Its consistent stroke weight and rounded construction aim to keep text feeling soft and personable across a range of sizes.
Caps maintain a simple, friendly structure, while the lowercase has a more handwritten flow, including single-story shapes and relaxed proportions. Numerals match the same rounded, simplified construction, staying clear and consistent with the text color.
