A hand-drawn print face with slim, slightly uneven strokes and softly wavering contours. Forms are narrow with variable character widths and loose, informal geometry—rounds are lumpy, verticals subtly bowed, and terminals often blunt or lightly tapered. Stroke texture suggests marker or pen on paper, with small inconsistencies in thickness and edge quality that create a lively rhythm across words. Spacing feels open and forgiving, supporting legibility while preserving the handmade irregularity in both uppercase and lowercase.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a human, handmade voice is desirable—packaging, labels, posters, classroom materials, and craft or boutique branding. It can also add character to quotes, captions, and display lines where a slightly rough, sketched texture is an asset.
The overall tone is casual and personable, with a quirky, homemade charm. Its imperfect outlines and gentle wobble read as friendly and approachable, leaning toward a playful, storybook feel rather than polished formality.
Designed to emulate informal hand printing with a consistent but intentionally imperfect rhythm, balancing readability with visible human variation. The goal appears to be an approachable, characterful texture that feels personal and non-corporate in both display and supporting text.
Capitals are simple and cleanly constructed but retain the same wobble and unevenness as the lowercase, helping headings feel informal rather than rigid. Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-rendered logic, with rounded figures and occasional asymmetry that keeps the texture consistent in mixed text.
