A casual handwritten print with unconnected letters and a loose, slightly right-leaning stance. Strokes are predominantly monoline with softly rounded terminals and gentle swelling in places, creating an inked-marker feel rather than a crisp pen nib. Proportions are irregular in a natural way, with varied glyph widths, open counters, and a bouncy baseline that gives the alphabet an easy rhythm. Overall forms stay legible while retaining hand-drawn quirks such as simplified joins, uneven curves, and occasional asymmetry.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a personal, handcrafted voice is desired—social graphics, labels and packaging, invitations, classroom materials, and informal posters. It’s especially effective in headlines, pull quotes, and display copy where the lively rhythm and natural irregularity can be a feature rather than a distraction.
The tone is friendly and informal, like quick lettering on a note or handmade signage. Its relaxed motion and rounded shapes feel warm and personable, with a lighthearted, slightly whimsical energy that reads as human and approachable.
Designed to mimic quick, everyday handwriting in a clean print style—prioritizing friendliness and legibility while preserving the spontaneous imperfections of hand-drawn lettering. The goal appears to be an easygoing, human tone suitable for casual communication and cheerful branding.
Uppercase and lowercase mix comfortably, with a consistent stroke color that holds up in continuous text. Numerals follow the same casual logic, favoring simple, open shapes that match the letterforms rather than strict typographic construction.
