A casual handwritten print with slender, high-contrast strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are upright but lively, with subtle wobble, uneven curves, and occasional tapered starts/finishes that suggest a pen-on-paper rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with narrow overall widths, open counters, and simplified constructions (notably in the bowls and diagonals) that keep the texture light. The lowercase is compact with a relatively small x-height and tall, slightly irregular ascenders/descenders; numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with smooth curves and a mix of straight and arced joins.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text in friendly contexts such as packaging, café menus, invitations, greeting cards, kids or hobby branding, and display copy for posters or social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where a personal, handwritten tone is desired.
The tone is approachable and informal, like neat handwriting used for labels, notes, or classroom materials. Its gentle irregularities add charm and personality without becoming messy, giving it a friendly, slightly whimsical character.
Likely drawn to capture the warmth of informal handwriting while keeping letterforms clear and consistent enough for practical display use. The design prioritizes personality—through contrast, taper, and gentle irregularity—over strict geometric uniformity.
Stroke modulation and spacing create a varied, human cadence across words, which reads best when given a bit of air. Round letters (O, C, G, o, e) stay open and soft, while verticals and diagonals show occasional slight bend that enhances the handmade feel.
