A casual handwritten print with a smooth, monoline stroke and softly rounded terminals. Forms are tall and relatively slim, with a gentle forward slant and a bouncy baseline rhythm that reinforces its hand-drawn origin. Curves are open and simplified, counters are generous, and join behavior is clean but slightly irregular in a natural way, giving the alphabet an easy, informal consistency without looking mechanical.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where a warm, human voice is desired—posters, headings, greeting cards, invitations, labels, and social media graphics. It can also work in educational or kid-focused materials where readability and friendliness matter more than strict typographic regularity.
The overall tone is friendly and lighthearted, with a relaxed, conversational feel. Its buoyant proportions and mild irregularities evoke personal notes, classroom handouts, and everyday DIY lettering rather than formal stationery.
Designed to capture the look of neat, quick handwriting in an unconnected print style—prioritizing approachability and legibility while preserving subtle, organic variation. The intention appears to be a versatile informal face that feels personal and contemporary without heavy texture or strong calligraphic contrast.
Capitals are simple and upright in construction with occasional looping or open shapes (notably in rounded letters), while lowercase maintains an uncomplicated printed structure that stays highly readable. Numerals follow the same informal logic, with rounded shapes and handwritten pacing that pairs well with short phrases and expressive punctuation.
