A lively hand-drawn print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letters are compact and slightly condensed, with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders that keep words visually tight. Curves and stems show subtle wobble and gentle asymmetry, producing an organic rhythm while maintaining clear, unconnected letterforms. Counters are open and simplified, and many shapes lean toward rounded, marker-like construction rather than sharp, geometric precision.
Well suited to friendly display and short-to-medium text where an informal, human feel is desirable—such as children’s materials, classroom worksheets, gift and craft packaging, café menus, and playful posters. It can also work for social graphics and casual branding where a neat handwritten print voice is needed.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a warm, approachable presence that feels like neat handwriting made with a felt-tip pen. Its slightly quirky proportions and bouncy rhythm give it a lighthearted, kid-friendly energy without becoming chaotic.
Designed to deliver a neat, approachable handwritten print that reads cleanly while retaining visible hand-made quirks. The condensed, tall-x-height structure suggests an intent to fit comfortably in compact layouts and maintain legibility at moderate sizes.
The texture stays consistent across uppercase and lowercase, with noticeably simple, readable numerals and a single-storey lowercase ‘a’. Spacing appears even and compact, supporting continuous reading in short passages while preserving the hand-drawn character.
