A casual handwritten print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms lean forward with a smooth, continuous rhythm, mixing gentle curves with slightly tapered joins and occasional hook-like endings. Proportions are narrow-to-moderate with noticeable variation from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a lively, human cadence while maintaining clear, unconnected shapes for readability. Counters are open and the overall texture is airy, with ample white space and a relaxed baseline feel.
Well-suited to greeting cards, invitations, packaging callouts, and lifestyle branding where a personable voice is needed. It also works nicely for short headlines, quotes, captions, and social graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the handwritten nuances remain clear.
The font reads as friendly and conversational, like quick, neat marker or pen lettering. Its informal bounce and soft curves create an upbeat, approachable tone that feels personal rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the ease of everyday handwriting in a legible print style, balancing spontaneity with enough consistency to function in multi-line text. The forward lean and rounded construction aim to convey warmth and motion without relying on heavy ornament.
Uppercase forms are simple and clean, while lowercase introduces more distinctive handwritten quirks (notably in descenders and looped shapes), adding character without becoming overly decorative. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with rounded turns and slightly individualized widths, keeping the set cohesive in running text.
