A casual, hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and noticeably rounded terminals throughout. Letterforms are simplified and slightly irregular in a controlled way, with gentle wobble and subtle asymmetry that keeps the texture lively. Curves are soft and open (notably in C, S, and O), counters are generous, and joins tend to be smooth rather than sharp. Proportions feel slightly condensed overall, with tall ascenders/uppercase relative to the body, while lowercase maintains clear, readable silhouettes.
Works well for short to medium text where an informal, welcoming voice is desired: children’s materials, craft and lifestyle packaging, café or boutique branding, event posters, and greeting cards. It also fits social graphics and headlines where a hand-made feel should remain highly legible.
The font reads warm and human, like neat marker or felt-tip lettering. Its buoyant rhythm and softened shapes give it a cheerful, informal tone suited to lighthearted messaging rather than formality. The slight inconsistencies add charm without becoming messy, keeping the overall impression friendly and personable.
The design appears intended to mimic tidy, everyday hand lettering—marker-like, friendly, and straightforward—while maintaining consistent construction for reliable readability. It prioritizes warmth and personality over precision, aiming for an approachable, human texture in display and supporting text settings.
Uppercase characters are clean and legible with minimal ornament, while lowercase introduces more handwritten character (single-storey a, open e, and a looped g). Numerals are simple and rounded, matching the same stroke logic and soft endings, with clear differentiation between similar forms.
