A hand-drawn print face with slim, mostly monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are tall and narrow with a slightly bouncy baseline and gentle irregularities in stroke curvature and junctions, creating an organic rhythm. Counters are generally open, curves are loose rather than geometric, and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the drawn-by-hand feel while keeping shapes clean and readable.
Well-suited for short to medium-length settings where a friendly, handmade voice is desired, such as children’s materials, cards, labels, and playful brand touchpoints. It works especially well for headlines, subheads, and display text where its narrow proportions can fit longer phrases without feeling heavy.
The overall tone is lighthearted and approachable, with a charming, storybook-like character. Its narrow, airy forms feel quick and spontaneous, lending an informal, conversational voice without becoming messy.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of neat hand printing while staying structured enough for repeated reading. The intent appears to balance personality and legibility through consistent stroke weight, simplified forms, and small, deliberate irregularities.
Capitals are simple and airy, while lowercase forms add most of the personality through soft hooks, slight asymmetries, and varied bowl shapes. Numerals follow the same casual construction and maintain consistent stroke color, helping mixed text feel cohesive.
