A hand-drawn print with brush-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms show gentle irregularities in stroke edges and curves, giving an organic, inked feel while maintaining clear silhouettes. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed overall, with modest counters and a somewhat low lowercase profile relative to ascenders. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm without becoming hard to read.
Well-suited for short to medium text in posters, product labels, café menus, and playful branding where a personal, handmade tone is desired. It also works nicely for children’s materials, invitations, and craft or DIY contexts, especially at display sizes where the brush texture and irregularities can be appreciated.
The font reads friendly and informal, with a whimsical, slightly rustic personality. Its uneven, human touch suggests hand lettering for everyday notes, crafts, and lighthearted storytelling rather than polished corporate communication.
Designed to emulate casual hand lettering with a brush pen, balancing legibility with visible human variation. The intent appears to be approachable, characterful typography that adds warmth and spontaneity to display text.
Uppercase forms stay simple and open, while the lowercase introduces more personality through varied bowls, angled joins, and occasional flourish-like strokes (notably in letters such as g, y, and k). Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, with smooth curves and minor baseline wobble that reinforces the drawn character.
