A casual, hand-drawn print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms show intentional irregularity in stroke edges and curve smoothness, creating a sketch-like texture while maintaining clear, readable silhouettes. Proportions are compact with a modest x-height and slightly bouncy baseline rhythm, and spacing feels naturally inconsistent in a way that reinforces the handwritten character. Numerals and capitals share the same informal construction, with simple shapes and occasional angular joins that keep the texture lively.
Well suited to informal headlines, captions, and short paragraphs where a handwritten voice is desired. It works nicely for posters, playful packaging, social media graphics, classroom materials, and greeting-card style messaging. For best results, use it where a friendly, human tone is more important than strict typographic regularity.
The font reads as approachable and personable, with a lived-in, notebook feel. Its unevenness adds warmth and humor, giving text a conversational tone rather than a polished, corporate one. Overall it suggests spontaneity and human presence—like quick marker or pen lettering used for notes, labels, and informal headings.
Designed to emulate quick, unconnected hand lettering while staying legible across mixed-case text and numerals. The goal appears to be an authentic, slightly messy texture that conveys personality and spontaneity in everyday display and editorial applications.
In running text, the irregular stroke contours and slightly varied letter widths create a textured gray that works best at comfortable sizes where the hand-drawn details can be appreciated. The forms stay distinct enough for short passages, but the quirky rhythm is most effective when used to add character rather than neutrality.
