A hand-drawn print face with thin, slightly irregular strokes and a lightly textured, sketch-like edge. Letterforms are upright and compact, with narrow proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm that comes from small variations in stroke weight, curve smoothness, and terminal shapes. Counters tend to be open and rounded, while straighter strokes show subtle wobble, creating an intentionally imperfect, marker-or-pen feel. Capitals are simple and tall, and the lowercase maintains a modest x-height with ascenders that stand out, aiding word-shape variety.
Works well for short to medium text where a friendly, handmade voice is desirable—children’s materials, product labels, café or boutique signage, posters, invitations, and greeting cards. It also suits headings and pull quotes in editorial layouts when you want an informal, illustrated-caption feel rather than a formal text typeface.
The overall tone is playful and personable, like informal notes or illustrated captions. Its unevenness reads as human and approachable, lending a light, quirky charm rather than a polished or corporate voice.
Designed to emulate quick, natural handwriting in unconnected print letters, prioritizing warmth and personality over mechanical consistency. The narrow, compact forms and lively irregularities suggest an aim toward expressive display and casual readability in contemporary, handmade-themed design.
Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing the handwritten cadence; this is especially noticeable in rounded letters and the numerals, which have a loose, drawn-on-paper character. The texture is subtle enough to stay legible, but prominent enough to communicate “made by hand.”
