A casual handwritten print with a steady monoline stroke and gently rounded terminals. The letterforms lean forward with a smooth, drawn rhythm and modest irregularities that keep the texture human without becoming messy. Curves are open and loopy (notably in bowls and numerals), while vertical strokes stay simple and slightly tapered by hand pressure rather than formal contrast. Proportions feel compact with relatively short lowercase bodies and long, soft ascenders/descenders, giving lines a light, airy color in text.
Works well for short-to-medium passages where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as greeting cards, quotes, social media graphics, casual branding, and light packaging. It also suits headlines and display text in posters or invitations where personality matters more than strict typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, like neat marker or pen lettering used for quick notes. Its slight slant and springy curves add an upbeat, conversational feel that reads as personable and informal rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate tidy, quick hand lettering with an easy forward motion and soft, rounded forms. The goal appears to be a legible, personable print style that adds charm and informality while remaining consistent enough for continuous text.
Capitals are simple and readable with a handwritten looseness, and the lowercase maintains consistent spacing and flow despite being unconnected. Numerals share the same rounded, drawn quality and sit comfortably alongside text, reinforcing the casual, everyday character.
