A rounded, hand-drawn print face with mostly monoline strokes and softly swollen terminals. The letterforms are upright with gentle wobble and subtle irregularities in curves and joins, creating a natural handwritten rhythm. Counters are open and simple, with broad, friendly shapes and slightly varying character widths that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Numerals share the same informal construction, with smooth curves and uncomplicated geometry.
Well suited to contexts that benefit from a friendly, informal voice—children’s and educational materials, casual packaging, invitations and greeting cards, and upbeat posters. It works best at display and short-to-medium text sizes where the hand-drawn character can be appreciated while remaining readable.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like neat marker lettering on a note or classroom poster. Its slight quirks and buoyant curves give it a lighthearted, personable feel without becoming messy or overly expressive.
The design appears intended to mimic clean, everyday handwritten print—legible and upbeat, with enough irregularity to feel personal and human. It aims for approachability and clarity rather than formal typographic precision.
Stroke endings are predominantly rounded, and many forms show minor asymmetry that reads as intentional hand movement rather than distortion. Spacing appears comfortable in text, producing an even, airy color while preserving a distinctly handmade cadence.
