A casual handwritten print with rounded, softly irregular strokes and a steady monoline feel. Forms are narrow overall, with gently wobbly curves, simplified construction, and minimal detailing; terminals tend to be blunt and slightly tapered as if drawn with a felt-tip. Proportions are compact and lively, with small counters, modest ascenders/descenders, and an easy, uneven rhythm that keeps letterforms distinct without looking engineered.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display text where an approachable, hand-lettered tone is desired—such as kids-oriented materials, casual packaging, invitations, headlines, and social graphics. It can also work for signage-style captions or UI microcopy when a personable, non-corporate voice is needed, especially at larger sizes.
The font reads warm and informal, like quick but careful marker lettering on a note or classroom sign. Its bounce and slight irregularity add personality and friendliness, leaning more toward cheerful everyday communication than polished branding formality.
Designed to emulate neat, everyday handwritten printing with a marker-like stroke, prioritizing friendliness and legibility over geometric precision. The consistent monoline weight and rounded construction suggest an intention to provide a versatile informal voice for headings and short passages.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-drawn logic, with rounded bowls and open, uncomplicated shapes that keep text readable at display sizes. Numerals follow the same casual construction, with simple silhouettes and a hand-scripted cadence that matches the alphabet.
