A hand-drawn print style with brush-like strokes and softly irregular contours. Letterforms are mostly upright with slightly wobbly verticals and uneven terminals, giving a natural marker/brush rhythm. Strokes show subtle modulation and tapering, with rounded corners and occasional hooks or flares at joins. Spacing is loose and inconsistent in a deliberate way, and character widths vary noticeably, reinforcing an informal, made-by-hand texture.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text where a friendly handmade voice is desired—such as posters, invitations, labels, packaging, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It performs especially well in headings, captions, and brand accents where texture and personality matter more than strict typographic regularity.
The overall tone is approachable and lighthearted, with a sketchy confidence that feels personal rather than polished. Its uneven baselines and lively stroke endings create a conversational, storybook-like energy that reads as warm, humorous, and slightly quirky.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with a brush/marker feel, prioritizing warmth and character over geometric consistency. The intention appears to be an informal print voice that stays readable while still showing the natural variation of drawn strokes.
Uppercase letters tend to be simpler and taller, while lowercase introduces more distinctive loops and occasional descenders that add character. Numerals share the same hand-rendered texture and casual proportions, staying cohesive with the alphabet rather than looking mechanically typeset.
