A lively handwritten print with thick, rounded strokes and soft, slightly irregular terminals that mimic a felt-tip or brush marker. Letterforms lean gently forward and show natural variation in curve tension and stroke endings, creating a bouncy rhythm rather than rigid repetition. Counters are open and shapes are simplified, with smooth joins and occasional swelling where strokes turn, giving the alphabet an easy, drawn-by-hand consistency. Numerals follow the same rounded, informal construction with friendly proportions and clear silhouettes.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, human voice is desired—such as children’s materials, café or boutique signage, product packaging, and informal branding. It also performs well in posters, headers, and social media graphics where a playful handwritten presence can carry the message without feeling overly decorative.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, communicating informality and warmth. Its forward slant and rounded forms feel energetic and conversational, making text read like a cheerful note or hand-lettered signage rather than formal typography.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-printed lettering with a marker-like stroke, balancing charm and readability. The goal appears to be an approachable, upbeat style that feels personal and handcrafted while remaining clear in common display and headline settings.
Spacing and widths vary naturally across characters, reinforcing an authentic hand-rendered cadence. The heaviest visual emphasis comes from the rounded stroke endings and the slightly exaggerated curves, which help maintain legibility while preserving a casual, crafted look.
