A clean, hand-drawn print style with mostly monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow and lightly built, with open counters and a slightly bouncy rhythm that comes from subtle irregularities in stroke joins and curves. Proportions vary naturally from glyph to glyph, and the lowercase shows simple, single-storey constructions with modest ascenders and a short x-height. Numerals are similarly light and rounded, keeping an informal, sketched consistency with the alphabet.
Works well for short-to-medium text where an informal, human touch is desirable—such as greeting cards, invitations, packaging accents, social graphics, classroom materials, or product labels. It can also suit headings and pull quotes that benefit from a light, personable voice.
The overall tone feels friendly and personal, like neat handwriting used for labels or quick notes. Its light color and open shapes keep it calm and unforced, leaning more charming than formal.
Likely designed to provide a tidy, readable handwritten print that stays clear at typical display sizes while preserving the small quirks and warmth of real pen strokes.
Capitals are straightforward and legible, while curved letters (like C, G, S, and O) emphasize soft, drawn arcs rather than geometric precision. Spacing appears comfortable and slightly loose, reinforcing the handwritten cadence in text.
