A casual, hand-drawn print face with rounded forms and a lightly irregular rhythm. Strokes are predominantly monolinear with soft, blunted terminals and gentle joins, giving letters a smooth, marker-like finish. Proportions lean slightly narrow in many glyphs, while counters stay open and simple; curves tend to be generous and slightly asymmetric, reinforcing the natural, handwritten wobble. Numerals follow the same rounded, informal construction and read clearly at text sizes.
Well-suited to children’s titles, playful packaging, classroom materials, and cheerful posters where a friendly voice is needed. It also works nicely for short-to-medium text in social graphics, labels, and UI moments that benefit from an informal, personable tone.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, with an everyday, human feel. Its bouncy curves and subtle inconsistencies suggest spontaneity and friendliness rather than precision, making it feel conversational and inviting.
Designed to emulate neat, hand-printed lettering with a smooth, rounded marker character, balancing clarity with a deliberately casual, human cadence.
Capitals remain uncomplicated and readable, while lowercase shapes carry most of the personality through soft shoulders, rounded bowls, and gently curved descenders. Spacing appears comfortable and even in running text, helping maintain legibility despite the informal stroke behavior.
