A tall, lightly built handwritten print with mostly monoline strokes and soft, rounded terminals. The letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with gentle irregularities that keep the rhythm lively without becoming messy. Curves are open and generous (notably in C/O/S), while verticals stay straight and even; joins and corners are simplified, giving the alphabet a clean, sketch-like clarity. Numerals follow the same spare, upright construction, with simple, readable shapes and minimal embellishment.
This font suits short to medium-length copy where a human, approachable voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, greeting cards, classroom materials, and playful editorial headlines. It can also work for captions and UI microcopy when a casual handwritten feel is needed without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone feels friendly and informal, like neat handwriting used for labels or notes. Its slight wobble and varied character widths add a playful, human touch while staying calm and legible, making it feel approachable rather than decorative or formal.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, upright hand printing with a light touch: simple forms, open shapes, and just enough irregularity to read as hand-drawn. It prioritizes friendliness and legibility over polish, offering a relaxed alternative to rigid geometric sans styles.
Uppercase forms lean toward condensed, sign-like proportions, and the lowercase keeps a straightforward printed structure rather than cursive connections. Spacing appears relatively open for such narrow letters, helping maintain readability in longer text lines while preserving the hand-drawn personality.
