A casual handwritten print with slender, monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms are tall and lightly condensed, with open bowls and generous interior space that keeps counters clear. Curves are slightly irregular and strokes show subtle wobble, creating a human rhythm without looking messy. Ascenders are prominent, lowercase forms stay relatively small, and the overall spacing feels airy, giving text a light, readable texture.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a personable voice is desired, such as children’s materials, invitations, greeting cards, classroom worksheets, or casual packaging and labels. It also works nicely for headings, pull quotes, and captions where a light, friendly handwritten texture can add warmth without sacrificing legibility.
The tone is approachable and upbeat, with a gently quirky, hand-drawn charm. It suggests informal communication—friendly, a little whimsical, and personal—without tipping into loud novelty.
Designed to mimic neat, everyday hand-printing with a consistent stroke and simplified shapes, aiming for an easygoing, personable look that remains readable in continuous text. The tall proportions and open counters help it stay clear while retaining a human, drawn-by-hand character.
Uppercase shapes lean toward simplified, almost sketch-like constructions (notably in diagonals and joins), while lowercase maintains a consistent, rounded handwriting logic. Numerals match the same thin stroke and open forms, keeping a cohesive feel across mixed content.
