A casual hand-drawn print face with slim, slightly wavering strokes and soft, rounded terminals. Letterforms are upright and compact, with narrow proportions and lively, uneven widths that keep the rhythm informal. Curves are open and simplified, counters are generous for the size, and joins feel pen-drawn rather than constructed, with small inconsistencies that add charm while remaining legible.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text in friendly contexts such as children’s materials, casual posters, invitations, playful packaging, and craft or boutique branding. It also works for UI accents, labels, and headings where a handmade feel is desired without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is light, approachable, and a bit quirky—like neat marker lettering used for notes, labels, or kid-friendly signage. Its bouncy shapes and gentle irregularity read as personal and conversational rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate tidy, hand-lettered printing with an intentionally informal cadence—balancing clarity with visible human character. The narrow, compact forms suggest a goal of fitting more text into small spaces while keeping a warm, approachable voice.
Capitals are simple and open, while lowercase maintains a straightforward printed look (unconnected) with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, with rounded forms and mild stroke wobble that keeps them consistent with the alphabet.
