A casual hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The forms are slightly irregular, with gentle wobble in verticals and curves that keeps the rhythm lively while staying readable. Proportions are generally compact with open counters, and many glyphs show simplified construction (single-storey a and g) and loose, pen-like joins. Uppercase letters are straightforward and cleanly spaced, while lowercase shapes lean more relaxed and occasionally taller or loopier, reinforcing an informal texture.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where an informal, personal tone is desirable—such as children’s materials, invitations, greeting cards, labels, and casual branding. It also works nicely for posters, social graphics, and pull quotes when you want a handmade look that remains legible at typical reading sizes.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like neat marker writing on a note or classroom handout. Its small inconsistencies read as human and personable, giving text a light, cheerful energy without feeling chaotic.
Designed to emulate neat everyday handwriting in an unconnected print style, prioritizing approachability and readability over strict geometric consistency. The slight irregularities appear intentional, adding character and a natural, human cadence in running text.
Numerals and punctuation match the same hand-drawn logic, with rounded bowls and slightly uneven curves that help maintain a cohesive handwritten color. The capital set is relatively restrained compared to the more expressive lowercase, making mixed-case setting feel natural and friendly.
