A hand-drawn print face with upright, narrow letterforms and a slightly irregular, marker-like stroke. The outlines show subtle wobble and uneven terminals, creating a lively texture while keeping a consistent baseline and overall rhythm. Curves are rounded and open, counters are generous for the width, and proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade character. Numerals and capitals follow the same simple, legible construction, with modest contrast coming mainly from natural stroke pressure rather than formal modulation.
Well suited to projects that benefit from a casual, handcrafted feel: packaging and labels, café menus, invitations, classroom or children’s materials, social graphics, and short headlines. It can also work for brief text passages when a friendly, personal tone is desired, especially at moderate sizes where the texture remains readable.
The font conveys an informal, approachable tone—like quick lettering on a note, label, or poster. Its gentle imperfections add warmth and personality, reading as playful and human rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, hand-printed lettering with consistent structure but visible human variation. It prioritizes warmth and approachability over geometric precision, aiming for legibility while preserving an authentic drawn texture.
Spacing feels slightly loose and natural, with small variations in sidebearings that contribute to an easy, handwritten flow. The silhouette stays clean enough for text, but the textured edges and uneven stroke endings become part of the visual voice at larger sizes.
