A narrow, hand-drawn print style with gently irregular strokes and rounded, slightly tapered terminals. Forms lean on simple, open counters and soft curves, with occasional flared ends that mimic marker or brush pressure. Proportions are compact and tall, with a steady baseline but lively, uneven details that keep the texture human. Capitals mix straightforward skeletons with a few distinctive, slightly decorative touches, while the lowercase stays readable with a modest, consistent x-height and simple one-story constructions where expected.
Best suited to short copy where the handcrafted texture can be appreciated—children’s and educational materials, playful posters, café or boutique packaging, greeting cards, and casual branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where a friendly, personal tone is desired.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a lighthearted, storybook-like personality. Its quirks and soft edges feel approachable and handcrafted, giving text a conversational, homemade character rather than a polished corporate voice.
Designed to emulate informal hand lettering with consistent legibility, balancing narrow proportions with soft, organic contours. The goal appears to be a cheerful, approachable display face that adds personality and warmth without becoming overly messy or hard to read.
The rhythm is intentionally uneven—some letters show subtle stroke swelling and small asymmetries that add charm in display sizes. Numerals follow the same drawn logic, with rounded shapes and slightly varied widths that contribute to an animated, hand-lettered texture in mixed text.
