A casual handwritten print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Forms are slightly right-leaning with a lively, uneven rhythm that keeps the texture human while remaining consistent across the set. Counters are generally open and simple, and proportions are narrow with compact lowercase that sits low relative to the capitals. Stroke joins and curves feel brushed or marker-drawn, with subtle wobble and occasional taper-like narrowing that adds warmth without introducing strong contrast.
Well suited for short headlines, quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and packaging where an informal, personal voice is needed. It also works well for posters and social graphics, and can complement kid-focused or craft-themed materials when set at larger sizes for clarity.
The font reads friendly and informal, like quick note-taking or a personal label written with a felt-tip pen. Its lighthearted bounce and soft curves give it a relaxed, approachable tone suited to everyday messaging rather than formal typography.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-drawn lettering in a clean print style, balancing charm and legibility. The goal appears to be a warm, conversational texture that feels human and spontaneous while still functioning reliably in repeated text.
Capitals are straightforward and legible, while the lowercase mixes single-storey constructions (notably the a and g) with simplified, handwritten shapes. Numerals match the same casual tempo, with rounded figures and an easy, handwritten flow that stays readable at display sizes.
