A compact, hand-drawn print face with tall, rounded forms and a tight overall footprint. Strokes are thick and even with soft, slightly wobbly edges that suggest marker or brush-pen texture, while terminals stay blunt and rounded rather than sharply cut. Counters are relatively small and oval, and the alphabet shows a gently irregular rhythm—consistent enough for reading, but with visible human variation in curves, joins, and stroke endings. The numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction and simplified shapes, keeping the set cohesive.
Works well for short-to-medium display copy such as posters, packaging, labels, social graphics, and brand moments that want a handmade feel. It also fits kid-friendly and craft-oriented projects where warmth and informality matter more than typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, with a slightly goofy charm that feels personal and approachable. Its narrow, buoyant silhouettes and handmade irregularities give it a lively, conversational voice suited to lighthearted messaging.
Likely intended to provide an easygoing, hand-lettered print style that feels homemade and personable while remaining legible in set text. The design balances consistent structure with intentional irregularities to keep the voice expressive without becoming chaotic.
In text, the tight widths and tall proportions create a dense vertical texture, while the rounded bowls and softened corners keep it from feeling severe. The spacing appears designed to hold together in lines without connecting strokes, preserving a clear printed-letter look while maintaining a hand-rendered character.
