A casual, hand-drawn print face with a monoline feel and gently slanted, slightly wobbly strokes. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow proportions, open counters, and simplified construction that keeps shapes readable while preserving a sketch-like irregularity. Terminals are rounded and a bit uneven, and stroke joins vary subtly, creating a natural rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency. Capitals are upright and narrow, while lowercase forms show soft, bouncy curves and tall ascenders/descenders that add movement.
Works well for short display copy such as posters, packaging labels, invitations, social media graphics, and playful branding. It also suits children’s or hobby-oriented materials where an approachable, hand-made look is desired; for best results, use at headline or larger text sizes where the organic stroke behavior reads clearly.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a lighthearted, handwritten personality. Its relaxed irregularities give it a human, conversational feel suited to cheerful, everyday messaging rather than formal typography.
Designed to emulate quick, confident marker or pen lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing warmth and personality over strict uniformity. The narrow, tall forms help fit more characters per line while keeping an energetic handwritten presence.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and variable in feel, contributing to an airy, handwritten texture in longer text. Numerals match the same casual stroke quality, with simple, open shapes that stay clear at display sizes.
