A casual, hand-drawn print face with rounded forms, subtly irregular stroke edges, and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes feel marker-like with gentle wobble and soft terminals, giving counters an organic, imperfect shape (notably in O/Q/0 and round lowercase like o/e). Uppercase proportions are sturdy and open, while the lowercase is compact with a relatively short x-height and simple, single-storey constructions where applicable. Overall spacing and widths vary slightly from letter to letter, reinforcing an informal, drawn-by-hand consistency rather than geometric precision.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a friendly, informal voice is desired—such as posters, invitations, labels, packaging accents, classroom materials, and social graphics. It’s especially effective in headings, pull quotes, and branded phrases where the handmade texture can be appreciated.
The tone is approachable and lighthearted, with a homemade charm that reads as personable rather than formal. Its mild roughness and unevenness suggest spontaneity and warmth, making the text feel conversational and human.
Designed to emulate everyday hand-lettered print with a clean-enough structure for readability while preserving the natural variation of drawn strokes. The aim appears to be an easygoing, approachable look that adds personality without resorting to connected script forms.
Round characters carry a gently squashed, slightly off-round silhouette, and straight strokes show small fluctuations that create texture at display sizes. Numerals are simple and bold in silhouette, matching the letterforms with similar softened corners and hand-rendered irregularity.
