A casual handwritten print with smooth, slightly wavering strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are simplified and open, with a lively rhythm and small inconsistencies that preserve a drawn-by-hand feel. Proportions vary across glyphs, mixing narrow and wider shapes, and many characters show subtle curvature in stems and crossbars rather than rigid geometry. Numerals and capitals share the same informal construction, keeping counters spacious and forms easy to distinguish at display sizes.
Works well for short-to-medium text where an informal, personable voice is desired, such as posters, invitations, greeting cards, craft packaging, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It is especially effective for headlines, callouts, and branded phrases where a friendly handwritten impression helps soften the message.
The overall tone is approachable and lighthearted, with an easygoing personality that reads as personal and conversational. Its bouncy shapes and soft curves give it a friendly, everyday charm rather than a formal or technical voice.
Designed to mimic neat, unconnected hand printing while staying legible and consistent enough for repeated use. The intention seems to balance a natural, handmade rhythm with simple, recognizable shapes that perform reliably in display and casual editorial settings.
Spacing appears generous and the forms remain clear in mixed-case text, helped by open counters and minimal ornamentation. The drawn texture is controlled—more smooth marker/pen-like than rough brush—making it suitable for clean layouts that still want an informal human touch.
