A lively hand-drawn print style with rounded forms and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes appear brush-like with subtle taper and soft terminals, creating gentle contrast without sharp edges. Letter shapes are compact and narrow, with tall ascenders/descenders and a noticeably small x-height that gives the lowercase a more petite presence. Overall spacing is fairly tight and the widths vary by character, reinforcing an organic, written feel while maintaining consistent stroke color and legibility.
Works best for short-to-medium text where personality is desirable: posters, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It also suits headings and subheads where a friendly, handmade voice is needed, while remaining readable in sentence-case samples.
The tone is warm, informal, and a bit whimsical, like neat marker or brush lettering used for friendly notes and handcrafted signage. Its narrow, energetic shapes add a cheerful urgency, making text feel personable rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic casual, tidy hand lettering with a brush/marker texture—prioritizing approachability and expressiveness over rigid typographic uniformity. The narrow proportions and tall extenders suggest it was shaped to fit compact spaces while still feeling animated and human.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same hand-made logic, with occasional looped details (notably in letters like g, y, and j) that add charm. Numerals are simple and rounded, matching the letterforms and keeping an even visual weight in running text.
