A tall, slim handwritten print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are simplified and gently irregular, with a buoyant baseline rhythm and small fluctuations in width and curvature that keep the texture lively. Counters are open and airy, and capitals read as straightforward, narrow forms that sit cleanly above the lowercase without formal serif details.
Well-suited to short to medium text where a friendly, informal feel is desired—such as children’s materials, packaging labels, posters, social graphics, and greeting cards. It performs best at display and subtitle sizes where the slim strokes and narrow forms can remain clear.
The overall tone feels lighthearted and personable, like neat marker or pen lettering used in everyday notes. Its narrow, springy shapes and mild quirks give it a youthful, informal voice that stays readable while still feeling hand-made.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of quick, neat hand lettering while maintaining consistent construction for dependable readability. Its tall proportions and simple, rounded shapes suggest a focus on an upbeat, approachable tone for contemporary casual communication.
Distinctive features include a single-storey lowercase a, a looped/descended g, and a narrow, lollipop-style j with a round dot. Numerals are simple and hand-drawn in spirit, with rounded curves and modest variation in proportions, matching the alphabet’s casual rhythm.
