A lively handwritten print with rounded forms, uneven stroke edges, and subtly fluctuating proportions from glyph to glyph. Strokes feel marker-like, with soft terminals and gentle swelling in curves rather than sharp, geometric joins. The overall skeleton stays upright, but the rhythm is intentionally irregular: bowls and counters vary in size, curves wobble slightly, and spacing feels naturally hand-set rather than mechanically uniform.
Well suited to short-to-medium display copy where a friendly, handcrafted feel is desired—such as posters, event materials, casual packaging, café menus, classroom resources, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings and callouts in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer text face.
The tone is warm and personable, with a playful, slightly mischievous character that reads like quick hand lettering. Its imperfect outlines and bouncy shapes create an approachable, informal voice suited to lighthearted messaging and human-centered branding.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-drawn lettering: readable, upbeat forms with visible human variation and soft, rounded strokes. The intent appears to prioritize personality and charm over strict regularity, giving text a spontaneous, approachable presence.
Capitals are compact and simplified, while lowercase forms show more character through loopier descenders and varying bowl shapes. Numerals follow the same casual, drawn look, with soft curves and occasional asymmetry that reinforces the handmade texture in longer text.
