A narrow, hand-drawn print style with rounded terminals and gently irregular strokes that mimic marker or brush lettering. Shapes are mostly vertical and simple, with soft corners, slight wobble in stems, and subtly varied stroke thickness that keeps the texture organic. Spacing and widths are uneven in a natural way, creating a lively rhythm, while counters stay open enough for clarity. Ascenders are tall and prominent, and the overall set reads compact and columnar with a consistent handwritten cadence.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—posters, product packaging, labels, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or UI accents when a casual, human touch is more important than strict typographic neutrality.
The font feels casual and upbeat, with a kid-friendly, journal-like tone that suggests quick handwriting rather than formal lettering. Its slightly goofy proportions and soft forms add warmth and approachability, making text feel conversational and lighthearted.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of hand-printed lettering in a compact, narrow form, prioritizing personality and warmth over geometric precision. It aims to deliver an approachable, everyday handwritten look that stays readable while retaining visible stroke quirks.
The numerals share the same hand-rendered character and narrow build, matching the alphabet well for informal lists and headings. The set maintains a consistent texture across uppercase and lowercase while preserving enough irregularity to feel authentically drawn rather than mechanically uniform.
