A casual, hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letters are narrow and slightly uneven in width, with a lively baseline bounce and subtle irregularities that suggest marker or felt-tip construction. Curves are plump and simplified, counters tend to be open, and joins stay uncomplicated, keeping shapes readable while preserving a spontaneous, sketched feel. Overall spacing is moderately loose and the texture is airy rather than dense.
Works best for short to medium text where personality is desired—children’s and family-oriented branding, playful packaging, craft labels, greeting cards, invitations, and casual posters. It can also serve as an accent for pull quotes or section headings in friendly editorial or educational materials.
The tone is warm and approachable, with an upbeat, doodled character that feels informal and human. Its gentle wobble and rounded forms lend a lighthearted voice suited to friendly messaging rather than formal typography.
Designed to capture an easygoing handwritten look in an unconnected print style, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, human rhythm. The aim appears to be a versatile, cheerful display voice that feels personal and approachable.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, simplified geometry, and the numeral set follows the same hand-drawn logic with rounded, slightly irregular forms. The face keeps a steady stroke presence across straight and curved letters, prioritizing charm and clarity over precision.
