A casual, hand-drawn print style with rounded, monoline strokes and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms are slightly irregular in width and spacing, creating a lively rhythm without looking messy. Curves are generous and open, with simplified constructions and a gently bouncy baseline feel; counters remain readable, and the overall color stays even despite natural stroke wobble.
Works well for headlines, labels, and short passages where a friendly handmade voice is desirable—such as kids’ projects, casual packaging, event flyers, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It’s best used at moderate-to-large sizes where the natural irregularities read as personality rather than noise.
The tone is warm and approachable, conveying an easygoing, human presence similar to quick marker lettering. Its informal energy feels upbeat and conversational, leaning toward playful rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with consistent stroke weight and rounded forms, prioritizing approachability and charm over strict geometric uniformity. The set aims for clear readability while preserving the spontaneous feel of drawn text.
Uppercase shapes tend to be broad and open, while lowercase forms are compact with a modest x-height and clear, simple silhouettes. Numerals match the same hand-rendered character, with slightly quirky proportions that add charm in display and short text settings.
