A rounded, hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and soft, blunted terminals. Forms are slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with gently wobbly curves and subtly varied character widths that create a lively rhythm. Counters are open and circular (notably in O/o and e), and curves dominate over sharp corners, while ascenders and descenders are kept fairly compact to maintain a tidy overall texture. Numerals follow the same simple, marker-like construction with clear silhouettes and minimal detailing.
Well-suited to friendly branding, packaging, invitations, and poster headlines where an informal, hand-made voice is desired. It can also work for short passages in educational or children-focused materials, labels, and social graphics where clarity and warmth matter more than strict typographic neutrality.
The tone is warm and easygoing, with a playful, sketchbook charm that feels human and conversational. Its gentle unevenness reads as personable rather than formal, lending a light, upbeat character to headlines and short text.
Likely designed to mimic neat hand-printed lettering: simple, rounded shapes with enough irregularity to feel personal, while staying consistent enough for comfortable reading in display and short text settings.
Distinctive details include rounded joins, slightly asymmetric bowls, and a casual baseline feel that avoids strict geometric precision. The alphabet shows consistent stroke confidence, suggesting a single-pen or marker drawing influence without heavy contrast or calligraphic modulation.
