A monoline, hand-drawn print face with tall, slender proportions and gently rounded terminals. Strokes keep a consistent thickness and show subtle irregularities in curvature and alignment that preserve a natural marker/pen feel. Letterforms are mostly upright with soft, open counters; bowls and shoulders are slightly pinched or uneven in a way that reads intentional rather than distressed. Spacing is airy and the rhythm is lightly bouncy, with variable character widths and simplified joins that keep the texture clean at text sizes.
Well-suited to friendly headlines, short paragraphs, and captions where an informal voice is desired—such as children’s materials, lifestyle or craft branding, packaging callouts, posters, and social media graphics. It can also work for light editorial pull quotes or signage when a casual, handmade texture is preferred over a polished geometric sans.
The overall tone is approachable and informal, with a playful, slightly quirky charm that feels human and conversational. Its tall, tidy silhouette keeps it readable while the hand-made quirks add warmth and personality.
The design appears intended to mimic neat hand-printing: simple, upright forms with consistent stroke weight, softened ends, and small natural inconsistencies to avoid a sterile look while staying highly legible.
Capitals appear simple and legible with minimal flourishes, while the lowercase introduces more personality through rounded forms and occasional asymmetry (notably in curved letters and diagonals). Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with open, straightforward shapes that match the alphabet’s light, airy color.
