A monoline, hand-drawn print style with rounded terminals and slightly uneven stroke edges that preserve a natural marker/pen feel. Letterforms are mostly upright with gentle wobble, combining simple geometric structure with organic irregularity. Counters are open and spacious, curves are generous, and joins stay clean without connecting strokes. Proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; capitals are tall and narrow while lowercase forms keep compact bodies with clear ascenders and descenders.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where friendliness matters: children’s titles, activity sheets, product labels, café menus, greeting cards, and casual packaging. It also works effectively for posters and social media graphics that need an informal, personal tone while remaining readable.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lighthearted, informal voice. Its bouncy spacing and soft shapes feel conversational and kid-friendly, suggesting handwritten notes, classroom materials, or casual branding.
Designed to capture the immediacy of neat handwriting in a clean, unconnected print style. The intent appears to balance legibility with personality, using rounded forms and subtle irregularity to feel human and approachable rather than mechanical.
Distinctive, simplified shapes (notably in several capitals and numerals) add character without becoming hard to parse, especially at display sizes. The numeral set follows the same rounded, hand-drawn logic, with consistent stroke thickness and slightly irregular curves that reinforce the handmade impression.
