A lively hand-drawn print face with slightly irregular, brush-like strokes and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms are upright with a narrow overall footprint, but widths vary per glyph, creating a bouncy rhythm. Curves are rounded and open, with simplified constructions and modest contrast that suggests a marker or small brush. The lowercase is compact with a relatively low x-height, while ascenders and descenders add vertical animation; counters remain clear and readable.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly, hand-rendered voice is desired: children’s materials, casual packaging, café menus, invitations, and posters. It can also work for light editorial pull quotes or social graphics when a personable tone is more important than strict typographic regularity.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a casual, chatty feel that reads like neat handwriting rather than formal calligraphy. Its gentle wobble and soft stroke endings give it a playful, storybook character without becoming overly whimsical.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered print with consistent readability, combining narrow proportions and variable glyph widths to create an energetic, informal texture.
Capitals are simple and slightly quirky, with occasional asymmetry that reinforces the handmade look. Numerals match the same drawn rhythm and remain legible at display sizes, while the overall texture stays consistent across mixed-case text.
