A casual hand-drawn print with gently irregular, monoline-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms show subtle rightward lean and variable character widths, with bouncy baselines and small variations in stroke thickness that mimic marker or pen pressure. Counters are open and airy, curves are generously rounded, and joins stay unconnected, giving the text a relaxed, readable rhythm. Capitals are simple and slightly tall, while lowercase forms keep a modest x-height and a loose, conversational spacing.
Works well for short-to-medium text in applications that benefit from an informal, personable voice—such as greeting cards, craft and boutique branding, labels and packaging, classroom materials, and children’s or light editorial headlines. It can also add a friendly tone to posters and social graphics where a hand-made feel is desired.
The overall tone feels friendly and approachable, with a slightly storybook, homemade charm. Its irregularities read as intentional and human, lending warmth and personality rather than polish or formality.
Designed to simulate neat, hand-printed lettering with a consistent structure but visible human variation. The intent appears to balance readability with a handcrafted texture suitable for friendly, everyday communication.
The numerals and punctuation match the same hand-rendered logic, with soft curves and light tapering at ends. Texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where small wobble and stroke modulation add character; at smaller sizes, the easy shapes keep it legible while still feeling informal.
