A casual handwritten print with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are open and slightly irregular, with a relaxed baseline that creates a subtle bounce in words and lines. Curves dominate the construction (notably in C, O, S, and lowercase bowls), while straight strokes remain softly tapered and a bit wobbly, reinforcing the drawn-by-hand feel. Spacing is comfortable and unforced, and the overall rhythm stays consistent despite intentional variation in stroke turns and joins.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a warm, informal voice is desired, such as children’s projects, classroom handouts, greeting cards, labels, and casual packaging. It also works effectively for headings and pull quotes on posters or social graphics when you want a friendly handwritten feel while keeping legibility high.
The font conveys an easygoing, personable tone—more like quick marker or pen lettering than polished typography. Its soft shapes and mild irregularities feel friendly and a bit whimsical, giving text an informal, human presence without becoming messy.
Designed to mimic everyday neat handwriting: unconnected print letters with consistent stroke weight, simplified shapes, and just enough irregularity to feel authentic. The intent appears to balance charm and clarity, providing a human touch while staying readable in continuous text.
Uppercase forms are simple and readable with minimal stylization, while lowercase includes familiar handwritten cues such as single-story a and g and a straightforward, loopless construction in many letters. Numerals follow the same rounded, hand-drawn logic and remain clear at text sizes, with slight shape quirks that keep the set from feeling mechanical.
