A monoline, hand-drawn print style with slim strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are simple and open, mixing gentle curves with slightly irregular straight stems that create an organic rhythm. Uppercase shapes lean toward clean, geometric construction (notably wide bowls and circular rounds), while lowercase remains compact with a relatively small x-height and straightforward, unconnected forms. Proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the drawn-by-hand feel while keeping counters clear and spacing generally even in text.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where an informal, personal voice is desirable, such as classroom worksheets, kids-oriented headings, craft or handmade product packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and casual brand messaging. It also works nicely for captions and callouts where clarity is needed but a mechanical sans would feel too formal.
The font reads as friendly and informal, with a light, sketchbook character that feels personable rather than polished. Its mild irregularity and rounded endings add a playful, human tone without becoming messy or overly expressive.
Designed to capture the look of neat hand printing: simple construction, consistent monoline strokes, and just enough variation to feel human. The overall intention appears to balance friendliness and legibility for everyday, approachable display and text settings.
Capitals stand out clearly from lowercase, and rounded letters like O, Q, and G show smooth, continuous curves. The numerals are similarly simple and legible, matching the same thin, hand-rendered stroke quality and maintaining an easy, conversational texture in running text.
