A monoline, hand-drawn print style with slim strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms are tall and compact with a lively, slightly uneven rhythm, showing gentle wobble and subtle variation in curvature typical of marker or pen drawing. Curves are simplified and open, counters stay clear, and many joins feel intentionally loose rather than mechanically perfect, giving the alphabet a personable, handmade consistency.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, handmade feel is desirable, such as children’s materials, casual packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and hobby or craft branding. It also works effectively for headlines, captions, and pull quotes in informal layouts where warmth and personality matter more than strict typographic precision.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a whimsical, doodled character that feels informal and conversational. Its narrow, tall shapes and buoyant stroke behavior create a lighthearted, storybook-like mood without becoming chaotic or overly decorative.
Designed to mimic neat, hand-printed lettering with a controlled, monoline build and a deliberately imperfect human touch. The intent appears to be an easygoing, highly legible handwritten look that stays consistent across the set while retaining a charming, drawn spontaneity.
Capitals read clean and straightforward, while lowercase adds most of the personality through slightly irregular bowls, playful descenders, and simplified construction. Numerals match the same drawn logic and remain legible, with rounded forms and a gentle, hand-rendered bounce across a line of text.
