A casual, hand-drawn print face with compact proportions and a monoline stroke that stays fairly even throughout. Letterforms show gentle wobble and soft, rounded terminals, with slightly irregular curves and occasional angular joins that reinforce the drawn-by-hand construction. Counters are small to medium and often a bit asymmetric, while overall spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph for an organic rhythm. Numerals follow the same informal logic, with simplified shapes and a consistent, marker-like texture.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display text where a personable, handmade feel is desired—such as posters, product packaging, stickers, labels, classroom materials, and casual editorial headlines. It can also work for simple UI accents or captions when a friendly, informal voice is preferred over a polished typographic tone.
The font feels warm and approachable, with a quirky, playful tone that reads like quick lettering for notes, labels, or DIY signage. Its imperfect consistency adds personality and a human presence, keeping the mood light and informal.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident hand lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing charm and immediacy over strict geometric precision. The consistent stroke weight and compact forms aim to keep text readable while preserving an intentionally informal, human rhythm.
Capitals are simple and upright with a compact stance, while lowercase forms keep a short, tidy profile and rely on clear silhouettes rather than strict typographic regularity. The overall color on the page is bold enough for display use, but the hand-drawn variance remains evident in longer lines of text.
