A monoline handwritten print with rounded terminals and gently irregular stroke edges that mimic marker or brush-pen lettering. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with a lively baseline that wavers subtly and letter widths that vary from glyph to glyph. Curves are generous and slightly asymmetric, while straights show mild wobble, creating an organic rhythm. Counters stay open and simple, and the overall construction favors clear, single-stroke forms over precision geometry.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text in friendly contexts such as packaging, menu headings, greeting cards, invitations, classroom materials, and craft or DIY branding. It also works nicely for posters and social graphics where a handmade voice is desired and a clean, approachable read is more important than strict typographic uniformity.
The font reads warm and human, with a relaxed, personable tone. Its mild irregularities and soft curves give it a playful, informal character without becoming overly messy, making it feel conversational and crafted rather than mechanical.
Designed to deliver an easygoing handwritten presence that feels natural and personal while remaining legible in everyday messaging. The intent appears to balance charm and readability through simplified letterforms, rounded shapes, and controlled irregularity.
Uppercase forms are simple and signage-like, while the lowercase has a more handwritten bounce, especially in rounded letters and single-storey constructions. Numerals follow the same casual logic, with smooth curves and slightly uneven proportions that keep the set cohesive in mixed text.
