A rounded, hand-drawn print with thick, brush-like strokes and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms are generally upright with a gently bouncy baseline and subtle irregularities that keep the texture human. Proportions are compact with relatively small counters and a short lowercase profile, while widths vary from letter to letter, adding a lively rhythm. The stroke is mostly monoline in feel, with slight modulation at curves and joins that suggests a marker or brush pen.
Well-suited for playful headlines, kids-focused materials, packaging, and casual branding where a handmade voice is desirable. It also works nicely for short-form copy in invitations, greeting cards, and social graphics, especially when set with generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lighthearted, informal personality. Its uneven, hand-rendered cadence reads as personable and slightly whimsical rather than precise or technical.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing charm and approachability over strict geometric consistency. The varied widths and soft terminals aim to create a natural, drawn texture that feels personal and upbeat.
Capitals are simplified and rounded, pairing easily with the lowercase without feeling overly formal. Numerals follow the same soft, drawn character and maintain strong color on the page, which helps short strings and headings feel energetic and friendly.
