A casual, hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow and lightly irregular, with gentle stroke wobble and uneven baseline behavior that reads as intentionally human rather than geometric. Counters are open and generous, and curves are broadly drawn, giving the shapes a smooth, simplified construction. Spacing is loose and airy, and the overall rhythm is lively without becoming messy.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where friendliness is the priority: children’s content, educational worksheets, invitations, greeting cards, labels, and casual posters. It also works well for branding in crafty or homey contexts, especially when paired with clean layouts that let the hand-drawn texture stand out.
The font feels warm, personable, and lightly whimsical—like neat marker lettering or careful doodle text. Its soft curves and relaxed proportions project an easygoing, kid-friendly tone that stays readable while still feeling informal.
Designed to capture the charm of informal hand lettering while staying clear and consistent enough for everyday display and light reading. The goal appears to be an approachable, playful voice with simple shapes, open counters, and a gently imperfect stroke flow.
Uppercase forms are simple and rounded, with a notably soft, hand-rendered presence across straight strokes and joins. The lowercase maintains the same monoline logic, with single-storey-style simplicity and a clear, minimal dot on i/j. Numerals match the handwritten tone, using smooth curves and open shapes that blend naturally with the letters.
