A compact, hand-drawn print style with smooth monoline strokes and rounded terminals. The letterforms are tall and narrow with a slightly bouncy baseline and gently uneven proportions that preserve a natural, penned rhythm. Curves are soft and open, counters are generous for the width, and joins stay simple rather than calligraphic. Overall spacing feels airy despite the narrow set, supporting clear word shapes in continuous text.
Well suited to cheerful display uses such as kids’ materials, greeting cards, labels, and light packaging where a human touch is desired. It can also work for short-to-medium text blocks in informal contexts, especially when a narrow footprint helps fit more content without feeling dense. For best results, use moderate tracking and comfortable line spacing to maintain its open, friendly rhythm.
The font reads as lighthearted and personable, with an informal, sketchbook charm. Its narrow, upright stance adds a neat, tidy energy while the subtle irregularities keep it warm and human. The tone is playful without becoming messy, making it feel friendly and easygoing.
Designed to provide a tidy, hand-printed look that stays readable while retaining the charm of casual drawing. The narrow proportions and consistent stroke weight suggest an emphasis on compactness and clean texture, balanced with small imperfections to keep the voice informal and approachable.
Capitals are straightforward and legible, while lowercase introduces more character through simplified, handwritten constructions and occasional asymmetry. Numerals follow the same rounded, narrow logic, giving a consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. The overall color on the page stays even, with minimal contrast variation.
