A casual, hand-drawn print with rounded forms and subtly uneven stroke thickness that suggests a marker or brush-pen edge. Letter shapes are simple and open, with soft corners and occasional tapering at terminals; curves feel slightly wobbly rather than mechanically perfect. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm, while counters stay generous enough to keep the texture readable. The lowercase has a notably small x-height with tall ascenders/descenders, and the overall spacing feels relaxed and informal.
It works best for short-to-medium text where a friendly, informal voice is desired—posters, classroom materials, kids-oriented projects, packaging for handmade goods, and social or display graphics. It can also serve as a distinctive accent face in branding when paired with a more neutral text font.
The font reads as personable and lighthearted, with a spontaneous, doodled quality that feels approachable rather than polished. Its irregularities add charm and humor, giving text an easygoing, conversational tone.
The design appears intended to mimic everyday handwritten printing in a clean, repeatable way, prioritizing warmth and character over strict uniformity. Its narrow, upright skeleton and open shapes aim to keep messaging clear while maintaining an unmistakably human touch.
Capitals are straightforward and legible with a hand-rendered steadiness, while the lowercase leans more whimsical in its loops and joins, reinforcing the handmade character. Numerals follow the same rounded, drawn-by-hand logic and match the alphabet’s casual texture.
