A hand-drawn print face with rounded terminals and slightly wavering strokes that mimic felt-tip or marker lettering. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with subtly inconsistent curves, joins, and stroke endings that create a lively rhythm. Forms are generally open and readable, with a modest baseline bounce and varied character widths that keep lines of text animated rather than rigid. Counters tend to be rounded and slightly uneven, and the overall spacing feels loose and natural.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text where a personable, handmade feel is desirable—such as posters, invitations, labels, café menus, playful packaging, and children’s or educational materials. It reads clearly at display sizes and works best when its informal texture can be part of the visual voice rather than needing strict typographic regularity.
The font conveys a warm, approachable tone with a playful, homemade character. Its imperfect edges and casual proportions suggest friendliness and spontaneity, giving text an informal, human presence.
Designed to emulate casual hand-lettered printing with enough consistency for continuous reading, while preserving the natural imperfections of drawn strokes. The goal appears to be an approachable, characterful texture that adds personality to headings and friendly copy.
Capitals have a simple, sign-paint-like clarity, while lowercase shows more personality through uneven bowls and varied stem thickness. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, with soft curves and a slightly wobbly silhouette that stays consistent across the set.
