An informal printed hand with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms show visible pen-pressure wobble and uneven stroke edges, giving a natural, drawn-on-paper texture. Proportions are slightly irregular with a bouncy baseline and variable character widths; counters are open and generous, and curves are softly oval rather than geometric. Uppercase forms are simple and roomy, while lowercase stays compact with tall ascenders and small, light i/j dots.
Works well for short-to-medium text where an approachable, personal voice is desired, such as greeting cards, DIY/craft branding, packaging callouts, classroom worksheets, children’s materials, and casual social or lifestyle graphics. It also suits quotes, captions, and headings where a handmade texture is more important than strict typographic regularity.
The overall tone is friendly and conversational, like quick marker notes or a casual classroom handout. Its slight unevenness and relaxed rhythm make it feel human, spontaneous, and playful rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the look of neat, printed handwriting with enough consistency for readable paragraphs while preserving natural variation and a hand-drawn texture.
Spacing appears loosely even but not mechanically consistent, which reinforces the handwritten feel in running text. Numerals follow the same casual, rounded construction and match the alphabet’s informal rhythm.
