A casual, hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are slightly irregular in width and spacing, creating a lively, uneven rhythm while remaining clearly legible. Curves are soft and open, with simple, unembellished construction; bowls and counters stay generous, and joins avoid sharp angles in favor of a sketched look. Numerals follow the same informal logic, with easy-to-read shapes and minor baseline and stroke wobble that reinforces the hand-rendered character.
Works well for children’s materials, lighthearted branding, packaging, and headlines where a personable handwritten tone is desired. It also suits short to medium text in invitations, classroom worksheets, and casual digital graphics where warmth matters more than strict typographic regularity.
The overall tone is friendly and relaxed, with a playful, human presence that feels like neat marker or pen lettering. Its mild imperfections and buoyant proportions give it an approachable, conversational voice suited to informal messaging.
Designed to capture the charm of tidy hand printing—clear enough for everyday reading, but with enough natural variation to feel personal and handmade. The aim appears to be an easygoing, friendly voice that stays versatile across display and informal text contexts.
Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive handwritten logic, with noticeable variation from glyph to glyph that reads as intentional rather than distressed. The texture is clean (no rough edge), so the personality comes primarily from proportion shifts, simplified shapes, and subtly inconsistent stroke flow.
