A casual hand-drawn print with monoline strokes and gently irregular contours. Letters are mostly upright with narrow overall proportions, small counters, and a noticeably petite x-height compared to the tall ascenders and capitals. Curves are softly pinched and slightly wobbly, terminals tend to be rounded or subtly tapered, and stroke joins keep an organic, sketched feel rather than mechanical precision. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving the line a lively, uneven rhythm while remaining readable.
Well-suited for display and short-to-medium passages where a personable, handmade voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, greeting cards, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It can also work for playful branding accents or headings, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The font conveys a lighthearted, informal tone—approachable and slightly mischievous, like quick marker lettering on a note or handmade sign. Its unevenness reads as personal and human, lending warmth and humor rather than polish.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, natural handwriting in separated print letters, prioritizing charm and spontaneity over strict uniformity. Its narrow, tall forms and petite lowercase suggest a compact, note-like aesthetic that stays legible while retaining a distinctly human, drawn texture.
Capitals are tall and narrow with simple construction, while lowercase forms are compact and springy; the numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with simplified shapes and mild inconsistency that reinforces the homemade character. In running text, the texture stays airy due to the thin stroke and open spacing, but the short lowercase can make mixed-case lines feel top-heavy when many capitals are used.
