A rounded, monoline handwritten print with gently wobbly strokes and softened terminals. Letterforms are simple and open, with slightly irregular curves and proportions that keep an even rhythm without looking mechanical. Caps are tall and narrow-leaning in feel, while the lowercase stays compact with clear bowls and modest ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same informal construction, with smooth, continuous curves and a consistent pen-like thickness.
Works well for short to medium text where a warm, informal voice is needed—such as kids-oriented materials, craft and lifestyle branding, packaging callouts, posters, and greeting cards. It can also suit UI accents or labels where a human touch is desirable and high formality isn’t required.
The overall tone is friendly and personable, like neat marker lettering for everyday notes. Its slight irregularities and buoyant curves give it a relaxed, playful character without becoming messy or overly whimsical.
Designed to mimic tidy hand-drawn print lettering with consistent stroke weight and rounded construction, prioritizing friendliness and clarity over strict typographic precision. The goal appears to be an easygoing, approachable texture that remains legible in display and supportive text settings.
Spacing reads airy and readable, helped by open counters and uncomplicated shapes. The forms lean on rounded geometry—noticeable in C, G, O, Q and the single-storey a and g—creating a soft texture across lines of text.
