A hand-drawn print style with thick, monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a lively, uneven rhythm; stems and curves show subtle wobble and slight asymmetry that reads as marker-like rather than mechanical. Counters are generally open and simple, with compact lowercase proportions and small dot accents on i/j. Numerals and capitals share the same informal construction, producing a cohesive, sketchy texture in text.
Works well for short to medium-length copy where a casual, handmade voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, labels, social graphics, and brand accents for crafts or family-friendly products. Best used at sizes where the narrow proportions and hand-drawn irregularities can read clearly.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a whimsical, imperfect charm that suggests quick handwritten signage or notes. Its narrow, punchy shapes feel energetic and a bit quirky, helping text come across as conversational and lighthearted.
Likely designed to mimic quick, confident hand printing with a bold marker feel—prioritizing personality and approachability over strict uniformity. The consistent stroke weight and rounded finishing aim to keep forms friendly and legible while retaining an authentically drawn texture.
Spacing appears intentionally irregular in a handwritten way, and the tall ascenders in letters like b/d/l create a vertical bounce across lines. The uppercase set feels slightly more display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains a simple, readable handwritten pattern.
