A casual hand-printed monoline with softly rounded strokes and gently irregular contours. Letterforms are mostly upright with simple construction, open counters, and minimal contrast, giving the shapes a clean, readable silhouette. Terminals tend to be blunted and slightly flared in places, with subtle wobble and unevenness that preserves a natural marker/pen feel. Proportions are relatively compact and narrow, while widths vary by glyph, adding to the informal rhythm.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where an informal, human touch is desired, such as children’s materials, craft and DIY branding, friendly packaging, invitations, and social posts. It also works well for headings, captions, and pull quotes where a relaxed handwritten tone improves approachability.
The overall tone is friendly and unpretentious, with a lighthearted, handmade character. Its slight imperfections and rounded shapes make it feel personable and conversational rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, everyday hand printing while keeping forms clear and consistent enough for comfortable reading. It balances legibility with a deliberately imperfect, drawn-by-hand texture to add warmth and personality in display and editorial settings.
Uppercase forms stay simple and open, while the lowercase introduces more personality—noticeably single-storey shapes (like a and g) and a looped descender on q. Numerals are straightforward and rounded, matching the same monoline stroke and soft corners for consistent texture in mixed text.
