A casual handwritten print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are tall and compact with a slightly bouncy baseline and relaxed, uneven rhythm typical of marker or pen lettering. Curves are simplified and open, counters are modest, and joins stay mostly clean without connecting strokes. Overall spacing feels hand-set, with small irregularities in width and sidebearings that reinforce an informal, drawn character.
Best suited to short headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and social graphics where a friendly handmade voice is desired. It can also work for kids-oriented materials, invitations, and casual branding, especially at medium to large sizes where the drawn texture is most apparent.
The font reads warm and personable, with a lighthearted, everyday tone. Its gentle wobble and rounded shapes give it a playful, human feel that suits informal messaging rather than formal typography.
Designed to emulate quick, legible hand-printing with a neat but human cadence. The intent appears to balance clarity with personality—keeping forms simple and readable while preserving the natural irregularities of handwriting.
Capitals are narrow and airy, while lowercase maintains a tidy, print-like structure with minimal flourishes. Numerals follow the same simple, handwritten logic and remain clear at display sizes. The overall texture is consistent across the set, with just enough variation to feel authentic without becoming messy.
