A casual handwritten print with smooth, monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are tall and compact with a gently irregular rhythm, showing small variations in stroke length and curvature that keep the texture organic. Counters are open and simple, and the overall construction favors clean single-stroke shapes over formal typographic structure, resulting in an easygoing, sketch-like presence.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a friendly, handmade voice is desirable—such as children’s titles, invitations, labels, and casual branding. It also suits display copy in posters and social graphics where legibility and personality need to balance.
The tone is warm and personable, like quick marker lettering on a note or classroom board. Its slight wobble and buoyant spacing add a playful, low-pressure feel that reads as informal and human rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to mimic neat, quick handwriting in unconnected print, prioritizing approachability and clarity over typographic strictness. The consistent monoline drawing and gently irregular proportions suggest an intent to feel natural and conversational while remaining readable in everyday contexts.
Distinctive, simplified shapes in characters like the single-storey lowercase forms and the looped descenders (e.g., g and y) reinforce the hand-drawn identity. Numerals share the same relaxed logic, with rounded forms and straightforward strokes that keep the set cohesive.
