A clean, hand-drawn print style with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are tall and compact with slightly irregular curves and baseline behavior that preserve a natural marker/pen rhythm while staying highly legible. Counters are open and simple, joins are minimal, and diagonals (like V/W/X) keep a gentle, slightly elastic feel rather than rigid geometry. Numerals follow the same relaxed construction with smooth, unforced curves.
Works well for packaging copy, labels, classroom or kids-oriented materials, craft branding, and casual editorial callouts. It also suits social media graphics and UI accents where a friendly handwritten voice is needed while maintaining good readability at small-to-medium sizes.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like tidy handwriting used for labels or notes. Its subtle wobble and rounded finishes make it feel personable and lightly playful without becoming messy or overly quirky.
Designed to capture the charm of neat handwriting in a dependable, repeatable font: friendly, legible, and informal, with just enough natural variation to feel human while remaining consistent across longer passages.
Capital shapes are straightforward and readable, with rounded bowls and modest asymmetry that reinforces the handmade look. Lowercase forms keep familiar print silhouettes (single-storey a and g) and maintain consistent stroke weight across curves and stems, supporting clarity in longer text.
