A casual, hand-drawn print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms are simple and open, with slightly bouncy baselines and uneven, human spacing that creates a lively rhythm. Curves are gently irregular, counters are generous, and many joins and stroke endings show subtle wobble typical of marker or pen writing. Overall proportions feel compact and tidy, while glyph widths vary enough to keep a natural handwritten cadence.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, handmade feel is desired—cards, invitations, classroom materials, craft and DIY labeling, and casual packaging. It also works nicely for social graphics and light branding accents, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The tone is warm and informal, reading like quick personal handwriting rather than formal calligraphy. Its relaxed shapes and playful irregularities make it feel conversational and accessible, with a lighthearted, everyday character.
The design appears intended to capture an everyday handwritten print style with clear, readable forms while preserving natural imperfections. It prioritizes approachability and personality over strict geometric consistency, aiming for an authentic drawn-by-hand texture in running text and headlines.
Uppercase forms stay straightforward and legible, while lowercase adds extra personality through small asymmetries and varied stroke direction. Numerals match the same casual construction, with rounded shapes and slight quirks that keep them consistent with the alphabet.
