A lively handwritten print with tall, narrow proportions and an uneven, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes show noticeable contrast and slight wobble, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered entries that mimic pen pressure. Curves are generous and verticals are prominent, while spacing and letter widths vary for an organic, non-mechanical texture. The lowercase is simple and readable with a comparatively small x-height, and numerals follow the same informal, lightly irregular construction.
Well-suited to branding and packaging that benefits from a friendly, handmade voice, as well as posters, quotes, and short headlines where its personality can lead. It can also work for invitations, greeting cards, and informal editorial callouts, especially when paired with a neutral sans for longer reading.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a playful, storybook-like charm. Its imperfect consistency and buoyant shapes feel conversational and approachable rather than formal or corporate.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of hand lettering while staying clear and alphabetically straightforward. The intent appears to be an expressive, approachable print style that adds charm and individuality without becoming overly script-like.
Distinctive details include loopier, more expressive forms in characters like g, y, and z, plus a slightly decorative feel in capitals that remain legible at display sizes. The texture becomes more pronounced in longer text, where the variable widths and stroke modulation create a handcrafted color.
