A casual, hand-drawn print with smooth, monoline strokes and generously rounded terminals. The letterforms lean on simple, open constructions with slightly uneven widths and a lively, bouncy baseline rhythm. Curves are soft and somewhat inflated, while straight strokes retain a gentle wobble that reinforces the drawn-by-hand character. Counters are roomy and shapes stay clean at display sizes, with modest detail and consistent stroke thickness across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, short blurbs, and branding that benefits from an informal, handmade voice—such as kids’ materials, crafts, casual packaging, café menus, and cheerful poster or social media graphics. It can also work for emphasis in longer text when set generously with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lighthearted, kid-friendly charm. Its informal, doodled energy reads as personal and conversational rather than polished or corporate, making it feel upbeat and welcoming.
Designed to capture an easygoing marker/pen-drawn feel with consistent monoline weight and rounded shapes, prioritizing friendliness and personality over rigid typographic precision. The intent appears to be an accessible, everyday handwritten print that stays readable while retaining human irregularity.
Capitals are tall and simplified, while lowercase forms remain compact with short extenders and simple, rounded joins. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with smooth curves and friendly proportions that match the alphabet’s soft geometry.
