A casual handwritten print with rounded forms, softly blunted terminals, and a gently uneven stroke rhythm that keeps the texture lively. Strokes read as pen- or marker-like, with mild contrast coming more from curvature and pressure changes than from any formal modulation. Curves are generous and simplified, counters are open, and proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, drawn-by-hand consistency rather than geometric precision.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where an informal, personable voice is desired—such as posters, packaging callouts, kids-oriented materials, event invitations, and social graphics. It can also support headings or pull quotes in editorial layouts when paired with a more neutral text face.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a light, playful bounce that feels conversational and human. Its irregularities and rounded finishes suggest friendliness and spontaneity, making it better suited to expressive messaging than to strict formality.
Designed to capture the feel of neat, hand-printed lettering: legible at a glance, intentionally imperfect, and emotionally warm. The goal appears to be a friendly display hand that adds character without sacrificing readability.
Uppercase letters are tall and cleanly legible, while the lowercase leans toward simplified, single-storey forms and compact counters, creating an easygoing, note-like color in text. Numerals match the same hand-drawn logic, with rounded shapes and slightly varied widths that keep lines from feeling rigid.
