A compact, hand-drawn print style with rounded terminals and slightly irregular stroke edges that mimic marker or brush lettering. Strokes are generally heavy with modest modulation, and counters stay open, helping letters remain clear despite the casual construction. Proportions lean tall and slim, with gentle overshoots and subtle baseline wobble that create an organic rhythm. Uppercase forms are simplified and approachable, while lowercase shows lively, single-storey shapes and a noticeably looped, descending “g.”
Works best for short to medium text where a friendly, handcrafted feel is desirable—such as posters, product packaging, menus, café signage, event materials, and social graphics. It is particularly effective in display settings where its personality and rhythmic irregularity can be a feature rather than a distraction.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a playful, upbeat energy that feels personable rather than polished. Its slightly quirky shapes and buoyant spacing suggest a conversational voice suited to lighthearted messaging and friendly branding.
Designed to emulate neat hand lettering: legible, upbeat, and informal, with enough consistency for practical use while preserving a drawn-by-hand character. The condensed, tall proportions help it stand out in headlines and compact layouts while maintaining a soft, approachable mood.
The font’s unevenness is controlled and consistent, giving it a cohesive handmade texture without becoming messy. Numerals follow the same rounded, handwritten logic, reading clearly while keeping the same casual charm.
