A hand-drawn print style with rounded forms, soft terminals, and a gently brush-like stroke that shows subtle tapering and pressure changes. Lettershapes are loosely constructed with small asymmetries and varied curve tension, giving the line a natural, human rhythm. Counters are open and generous, and the overall silhouette stays clear even as proportions and widths shift from glyph to glyph. Descenders are noticeable and the lowercase feels compact relative to the capitals, with single-storey forms and simplified structures throughout.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where an informal voice is desired, such as children’s materials, craft and lifestyle packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and headline treatments in posters or social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes and labeling where clarity is needed but a human touch is important.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a lightly whimsical, sketchbook character. Its unevenness reads as personal and conversational rather than polished, making it feel warm and animated in text.
Designed to capture the immediacy of handwritten lettering in a clean, unconnected print style, balancing legibility with visible hand-made texture. The intent appears to be a versatile casual face that brings warmth and personality to everyday messaging.
Capitals have a simple, slightly flared presence and pair with a more relaxed lowercase that leans on rounded bowls and soft joins. Numerals follow the same freehand logic, with gentle curvature and occasional angular flicks that add personality without becoming hard to read.
