A lively handwritten print with gently irregular construction and a buoyant baseline rhythm. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle modulation, ending in soft teardrops and hook-like terminals that give many letters a slightly loopy silhouette. Counters tend toward rounded forms, curves are generous, and proportions vary a bit from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, drawn-by-hand consistency rather than strict geometry. Capitals are distinctive and decorative without becoming fully cursive, while lowercase stays unconnected and readable at display sizes.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where a friendly, handmade feel is desired—children’s and educational materials, greeting cards, invitations, craft and boutique packaging, playful posters, and informal branding accents. It can also serve as a characterful supporting face for headings or pull quotes when paired with a plainer text font.
The overall tone feels cheerful and storybook-like, with a lightly mischievous, doodled character. Its curly terminals and uneven rhythm create a personable voice that reads as casual, warm, and slightly quirky rather than formal or corporate.
Designed to emulate a neat but expressive hand-drawn print, prioritizing charm and individuality over rigid consistency. The decorative terminals and bouncy spacing suggest an intention to add warmth and personality to headings and branded phrases while remaining legible and approachable.
The font’s personality is carried by repeated hook/loop motifs (notably in letters like G, Q, J, y, and z) and rounded joins that create a soft, friendly texture in text. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with open curves and occasional teardrop ends that help them match the letters in mixed settings.
