A casual hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are simple and open, with gently irregular curves and slightly uneven stroke endings that preserve a marker/pen-drawn feel. Proportions are relaxed and a bit bouncy, with noticeable variation in character widths and a modest, compact lowercase presence relative to the capitals. Counters stay clear and generous, keeping the overall texture light and breathable even in longer lines.
Well-suited to short-to-medium copy where a human touch is desirable: children’s materials, casual branding, packaging callouts, posters, invitations, and social graphics. It can also work for headings or captions in editorial or educational contexts where an approachable, handwritten tone improves readability and mood.
The tone is warm and informal, reading like neat handwriting rather than a rigid type system. Subtle wobble and softened geometry give it a friendly, unpretentious personality that feels conversational and lightly playful.
The design appears intended to mimic tidy, everyday handwriting in an unconnected print style, balancing legibility with visible hand-drawn character. Its relaxed proportions and rounded finishing suggest a focus on friendliness and ease rather than formality or strict typographic precision.
Capitals are straightforward and legible with rounded constructions, while the lowercase maintains a simple printed structure (single-storey forms where expected) and minimal ornament. Numerals match the same hand-drawn rhythm, with rounded shapes and slight asymmetries that help the set feel cohesive in mixed text.
