A casual hand-drawn print with rounded terminals, monoline strokes, and gently irregular curves. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with uneven widths and a lively, bouncing baseline rhythm. Counters are open and simplified, and many joins and bowls lean toward soft, inflated shapes rather than rigid geometry, giving the set a cohesive marker-like texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best for short-to-medium display settings where a friendly, handcrafted voice is desired—children’s materials, playful packaging, casual posters, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also suit pull quotes or section headings where texture and personality matter more than typographic precision.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with an easygoing, kid-friendly energy. Its informal irregularity reads as personal and handmade, leaning toward cheerful and whimsical rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to mimic neat, confident hand lettering with a marker/pen feel, prioritizing charm and approachability. The construction aims for consistent readability while keeping enough natural irregularity to feel human and informal.
Capitals are tall and simple with minimal flourish, while lowercase keeps a single-storey feel in several forms and stays deliberately uncomplicated for quick reading. Numerals match the same rounded, drawn texture, with soft corners and consistent stroke weight that maintains a steady color in text.
