A compact, hand-drawn print with upright, simplified forms and softly rounded terminals. Strokes feel marker-like and slightly uneven, with gentle wobble and occasional thickened spots that create a subtly blobby texture. Counters are open and uncomplicated, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than rigid, with small variations in width and shape from glyph to glyph. Numerals match the informal construction and maintain clear silhouettes at display sizes.
Works well for posters, labels, packaging, and social graphics where a handmade voice is desirable. Best suited to headlines, short phrases, and playful branding; it can also support brief body text when set with generous size and leading.
The tone is approachable and mischievous, with a DIY, notebook-and-marker energy. Its irregularities read as intentional and human, giving text a warm, informal presence that feels more like lettering than typesetting.
Designed to capture the charm of hand-printed lettering in a consistent, reusable font—prioritizing personality, spontaneity, and readability over geometric precision.
Spacing appears on the loose side, helping the chunky strokes breathe, while the narrow overall footprint keeps lines compact. The rounded joins and minimal detailing prioritize quick recognition over polish, which suits short bursts of text and bold, simple messaging.
