A compact, hand-drawn print style with thick, rounded strokes and an easy monoline feel. Letterforms are narrow and tall with gently irregular stroke endings and small, soft terminals that mimic marker or brush pressure. The rhythm is slightly bouncy, with noticeable variability in character widths and a casual, unruled baseline impression in text. Counters are open and simplified, and curves are generously rounded, keeping shapes readable despite the condensed proportions.
Works best for short to medium display copy such as posters, playful branding, packaging, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It can also suit casual UI labels or captions when a friendly hand-lettered tone is desired, especially at sizes where the condensed shapes stay clear.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, homemade personality. Its imperfect, drawn-by-hand regularity suggests spontaneity and friendliness rather than precision or formality.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident marker lettering in a tidy, consistent alphabet. The intent appears to be an informal print hand that remains legible while preserving the charm of human variation.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent simplified construction, helping mixed-case text feel cohesive. Numerals follow the same rounded, hand-lettered logic, making them suitable for informal display lines where charm and personality matter more than strict typographic uniformity.
