A monoline, hand-drawn print face with slightly uneven strokes and subtly wobbly contours that mimic marker or pen lettering. Forms are generally upright with modest, rounded terminals and occasional tapered starts/stops, creating a natural, imperfect rhythm. Curves are soft rather than geometric, and spacing feels loosely regularized, preserving a hand-rendered cadence across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text in contexts that benefit from an informal voice, such as posters, greeting cards, invitations, craft branding, product labels, and social graphics. It can also work for headings and pull quotes where a friendly, hand-lettered tone is desired.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a lighthearted, personal feel. Its gentle irregularities add warmth and a hint of humor, making text feel conversational rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of handwritten print while remaining legible in continuous reading. It balances consistent construction with intentional irregularities to convey personality and a human touch.
Capitals are simple and open, while lowercase maintains a straightforward print style with a single-storey feel in key shapes and round, friendly counters. Numerals follow the same drawn logic, with slightly varied widths and a relaxed baseline that reinforces the handmade character.
