A casual handwritten print with rounded terminals and slightly uneven stroke edges that preserve a drawn-by-hand texture. Strokes stay fairly monolinear, with gentle swelling at curves and occasional tapering where the pen lifts. Proportions are compact and somewhat narrow, with a modest x-height and generous ascenders that give the lowercase a light, airy rhythm. The letterforms lean mostly upright and maintain consistent construction while allowing small variations in width and baseline for a natural, human cadence.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where a personal, handmade voice is desirable—such as packaging, café menus, small posters, social graphics, classroom materials, and kid-focused projects. It can also serve as an accent font for headings or pull quotes when paired with a more neutral text face.
The overall tone feels friendly and informal, with a relaxed, conversational warmth. Its slight wobble and soft curves read as personal and playful rather than precise or technical, making text feel approachable and lightly whimsical.
Likely designed to capture an everyday marker/pen print look: legible, informal, and intentionally imperfect to convey authenticity. The consistent, rounded skeleton suggests the goal is dependable readability while retaining the spontaneity of hand lettering.
Uppercase forms are simple and open, with rounded corners and minimal angularity, helping maintain legibility in short phrases. Numerals share the same loose, hand-drawn character, with clear shapes and softly irregular curves that match the alphabet.
