A casual hand-printed face with monoline strokes, rounded terminals, and softly irregular curves that preserve a drawn-by-hand feel. Letterforms lean mostly upright with gently wobbly contours and uneven stroke joins, creating a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency. Counters are generally open and simplified, and capitals are tall and roomy with slightly varied proportions from glyph to glyph. The numerals follow the same informal construction, with straightforward shapes and occasional angular turns that contrast the otherwise rounded skeleton.
Works well for short, friendly messaging such as kids-focused materials, casual packaging, posters, and social media graphics where a personal tone is desirable. It also fits craft branding, labels, and signage that benefit from a quick hand-lettered texture more than typographic precision.
The overall tone is warm and unpretentious, reading like quick marker or pen lettering. Its mild irregularities and bouncy spacing give it an easygoing, conversational voice that feels personal and human.
Designed to emulate relaxed hand printing with an intentionally imperfect, human rhythm. The focus appears to be on approachability and spontaneity—clear enough for display text while preserving the charm of drawn lettering.
In text, the baseline and sidebearings appear intentionally loose, which enhances the handmade character but can create a slightly jittery texture in longer passages. Punctuation and special characters share the same simple, rounded construction, supporting an informal, note-like look.
