A hand-drawn print face with tall, slightly condensed proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show noticeable contrast and subtle wobble, with rounded, softened terminals that mimic ink or marker on paper. Curves are generously open (notably in C, O, S), while verticals stay dominant, giving the alphabet a lightly stretched, airy silhouette. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, contributing to an organic texture, and the numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten structure.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly handmade voice is desired, such as children’s titles, craft branding, labels, and casual editorial callouts. It performs especially well for headlines, quotes, and packaging copy where the narrow footprint and lively texture help create personality without requiring connected script.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a storybook-like charm that feels approachable and lightly quirky. Its imperfect, human cadence reads as personal and crafty rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, hand-printed lettering with a controlled, readable structure while preserving natural variation and ink-like irregularity for warmth and charm.
Uppercase forms remain simple and readable, while lowercase letters add character through small idiosyncrasies (single-storey a and g, a lively y and j, and a compact t). The texture is most expressive at larger sizes, where the stroke modulation and hand-drawn irregularities become part of the visual voice.
