A casual handwritten print with rounded, slightly condensed forms and visibly irregular stroke edges that suggest a felt-tip or marker tool. Strokes show subtle wobble and pressure variation, with softened corners and occasional tapering on terminals. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; counters are generally open and simple, and spacing is loosely consistent rather than mechanically uniform. Numerals and capitals share the same informal construction, with small idiosyncrasies and uneven baselines that reinforce the hand-drawn character.
Well-suited for short to medium text where a friendly, handmade tone is desirable—such as packaging callouts, posters, invitations, greeting cards, and casual social media graphics. It can also work for headings or pull quotes when you want a human, sketchbook-like presence without switching to a connected script.
The overall tone is approachable and conversational, with a playful, human warmth. Its slight roughness and bouncy rhythm read as informal and expressive rather than polished, giving text a personal note-taking or hand-lettered feel.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand printing with a marker-like texture, balancing legibility with visible imperfections to keep the result personable and informal.
The texture remains consistent across upper- and lowercase, and the letterforms avoid connections, keeping the flow readable while still distinctly handmade. The irregular outlines and minor width shifts are prominent enough to be part of the style, especially in longer text.
