A casual handwritten print with a smooth, monoline stroke and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms lean slightly and show a lively, bouncy baseline, with generous curves and occasional looped joins inside characters (notably in bowls and shoulders). Proportions are compact and slightly condensed overall, with simple construction and open counters that keep text readable at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same informal rhythm, mixing straight strokes with soft arcs for a consistent, drawn-by-hand feel.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a warm, human feel is desired—children’s and family-oriented branding, packaging, greeting cards, invitations, social graphics, posters, and cheerful signage. It also works well for pull quotes and section headers in editorial or educational materials when an informal tone is appropriate.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, like neat marker or felt-tip handwriting. Its rounded shapes and subtle quirks give it a lighthearted, personable voice that feels informal rather than formal or technical.
Designed to emulate tidy, everyday handwriting with a consistent rhythm and soft, rounded forms, offering an easygoing alternative to rigid sans or formal scripts. The emphasis appears to be on friendliness and clarity while keeping the imperfections and bounce that signal a hand-made origin.
Capital forms are simplified and friendly, avoiding sharp corners in favor of smooth curves and tapered-looking ends. The texture stays even across the set, but small variations in stroke direction and curve tension preserve an authentic hand-drawn character in running text.
