A casual hand-drawn print with rounded forms and slightly irregular stroke flow that suggests a brush-pen or marker. Strokes show gentle swelling and tapering, with soft, blunted terminals and occasional flicks on entries and exits. Proportions are loosely consistent but intentionally uneven, giving letters a bouncy baseline and varied glyph widths; counters are open and generously shaped for readability. Capitals are tall and expressive, while lowercase has compact bodies with long, lively ascenders and descenders that add vertical rhythm.
It works well for short-to-medium copy where personality is the priority: headlines, captions, invitations, greeting cards, and playful packaging. The clear, rounded shapes also suit classroom materials and social posts, especially at larger sizes where the stroke nuance and bounce are most visible.
The font feels upbeat and approachable, like quick lettering made for notes, kids’ materials, or informal signage. Its uneven rhythm and soft curves add charm and a human voice, keeping the tone light rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to replicate natural, quick print handwriting with a friendly brushy texture, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, handmade character.
The numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and occasional hooks that maintain the casual texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. Overall spacing appears comfortable and slightly loose, helping the energetic letterforms avoid crowding in longer lines of text.
