A casual hand-drawn print style with smooth, monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms keep a mostly upright stance while showing gentle baseline bounce and slight irregularity typical of marker or brush-pen writing. Curves are open and roomy, counters are generous, and proportions lean tall with relatively small lowercase bodies compared to the ascenders. Numerals and capitals follow the same relaxed rhythm, with consistent stroke thickness and subtle, organic variation in joins and endings.
Well suited to lighthearted branding and display applications such as packaging, café menus, product labels, posters, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings, pull quotes, and short paragraphs where an informal, human touch is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with an informal, conversational feel. Its rounded shapes and lightly quirky rhythm give it a cheerful, handmade character that reads as approachable rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate neat, everyday hand lettering with a clean, readable print structure. The goal appears to be an easygoing handwritten voice that stays consistent across letters and numbers while retaining enough natural irregularity to feel authentic.
Stroke endings often taper or soften instead of finishing crisply, reinforcing the drawn-by-hand impression. Spacing appears intentionally relaxed, helping the glyphs stay legible in short lines while keeping a lively, handwritten cadence in longer text.
