A compact, hand-drawn print style with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with gentle irregularities in curve tension and stroke joins that keep the rhythm lively without becoming messy. Counters are generally open and simple, and curves (C, G, S, O) lean toward oval shapes rather than perfect geometry. The lowercase includes single-storey forms and a casual, handwritten feel, while numerals are straightforward with similarly rounded ends and a consistent stroke weight.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text in friendly contexts such as children’s materials, casual packaging, posters, classroom resources, greeting cards, and social graphics. It also works for headlines and callouts where an informal, hand-lettered tone is desired without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a light, approachable personality that reads like neat marker or pen lettering. Its soft edges and slightly bouncy proportions create a playful, human presence that feels conversational rather than formal or technical.
Designed to emulate neat, hand-printed lettering with consistent monoline construction and soft, rounded finishing. The intention appears to balance charm and legibility, providing a casual voice that stays orderly across both display text and longer phrases.
Capitals remain clear and legible at text sizes, with slightly idiosyncratic shapes that add charm (notably the curvy J and the rounded, open forms throughout). Spacing appears comfortably loose for a handwritten face, helping maintain clarity in longer lines of sample text.
