A lively hand-drawn print face with tall, narrow proportions and a bouncy baseline. Strokes show clear pen-like modulation, shifting between thick verticals and finer joins, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered or hook-like endings. Letterforms are generally upright but gently irregular, with uneven curves and varied internal counters that reinforce a natural, handwritten rhythm. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet an airy, animated texture in text.
Best suited to short to medium lengths of text where personality matters—such as headlines, posters, labels, and playful branding. It also works well for greeting cards, invitations, and social graphics where a friendly, handmade feel is desired.
The overall tone feels cheerful and informal, with a whimsical, slightly quirky personality. Its unevenness reads as approachable and human, suggesting a lighthearted voice rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, casual marker or brush-pen lettering while preserving the clarity of unconnected print forms. Its controlled irregularities aim to add warmth and charm, helping display text feel personal and crafted.
Distinctive tall ascenders and compact lowercase proportions create a vertical emphasis, while the high stroke contrast adds sparkle without becoming calligraphic or connected. The numerals follow the same hand-inked logic, with simplified shapes and soft curves that match the letter rhythm.
