A casual hand-printed design with a mostly monoline stroke and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, and a lively, uneven rhythm that suggests quick marker or pen writing. Curves are slightly elastic and occasionally loopy (notably in forms like g, y, and some capitals), while verticals stay relatively steady, keeping the overall texture readable despite the informal construction.
Works well for short headlines, quotes, and friendly messaging where an informal, human presence is desired—such as children’s or educational materials, greeting cards, invitations, craft-focused branding, and lightweight posters. It is best used at larger sizes where the narrow proportions and delicate strokes can stay crisp and open.
The tone is approachable and lighthearted, with a slightly quirky, homemade charm. Its bouncy proportions and simple strokes feel conversational and personable rather than formal or technical.
Designed to evoke everyday hand lettering: simple, quick, and approachable, with just enough irregularity and looping detail to feel personal while remaining legible in continuous text samples.
Capital forms vary between simple print structures and more whimsical, looped gestures, creating an intentionally imperfect, handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same narrow, airy style and read clearly at display sizes.
