A rounded, hand-drawn print style with smooth, slightly irregular strokes and softened terminals. Letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with gentle curves and a subtly bouncy baseline rhythm that keeps lines lively. The stroke weight is consistently heavy with modest contrast, and counters are kept open for clear recognition. Capitals are simple and sturdy, while lowercase forms show more personality through curved shoulders and looped joins, maintaining an overall cohesive, informal texture.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where a warm, informal voice is desired. It can work nicely for labels, café or boutique branding, children’s materials, and social graphics, especially at medium to large sizes where its rounded details and lively rhythm read best.
The font conveys an easygoing, upbeat tone—more like neat marker lettering than formal handwriting. Its soft edges and buoyant rhythm feel welcoming and lighthearted, lending a personable voice to short messages and display text.
Designed to capture the charm of casual hand lettering while staying clean and consistent enough for practical display use. The emphasis is on friendliness and readability, using rounded forms and a steady stroke to create a confident, approachable texture.
Spacing appears moderately tight, reinforcing a compact, poster-friendly color on the page. Numerals follow the same rounded, handwritten logic, with simple shapes and friendly proportions that blend naturally with the letters.
