A hand-drawn print face with slim, slightly irregular strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are mostly unconnected and upright, with a gently uneven baseline and subtle wobble that mimics marker or brush-pen writing. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, mixing narrow stems with occasional wider bowls and exaggerated ascenders/descenders, creating a lively rhythm. The uppercase shows quirky, simplified constructions with occasional curls and small decorative flicks, while the lowercase keeps compact bodies and tall, thin extenders; numerals follow the same informal, drawn character.
Well suited to playful display settings such as posters, book covers, packaging accents, invitations, classroom materials, and craft or DIY branding. It can also work for short, informal text blocks where a friendly, hand-rendered voice is desired, especially when set with generous leading.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, with a quirky, storybook charm. Its small inconsistencies and rounded shapes feel human and approachable rather than mechanical, lending a casual, crafty warmth to headings and short passages.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of quick hand lettering in a clean, readable print style—prioritizing personality and an organic rhythm over strict typographic uniformity.
The texture appears slightly rough at the edges, as if produced by a felt-tip or lightly dry marker, which adds character at display sizes. Spacing is open and airy, and the mixed proportions between letters contribute to a spontaneous, handwritten cadence.
