A compact, hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and soft, rounded terminals. The forms are tall and tightly proportioned, with a narrow overall footprint and slightly irregular widths that create an organic rhythm. Curves are simplified and somewhat lumpy in a deliberate way, while counters are small and vertical, giving letters a stacked, columnar feel. The lowercase is compact with short ascenders and a notably short x-height, and the numerals follow the same condensed, gently uneven construction.
Well-suited for short-form display use such as posters, playful branding, packaging callouts, greeting cards, and children’s or educational materials. It can also work for subheads and short passages where a friendly, hand-rendered tone is desired, especially in tight horizontal spaces.
The font reads as informal and personable, with a quirky, storybook-like charm. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded shapes keep it friendly, while the subtle inconsistencies add a handmade, humorous tone that feels relaxed rather than polished or technical.
Designed to deliver a cheerful, hand-printed look with a compact, vertical profile and a deliberately imperfect texture. The goal appears to be approachability and character—capturing the feel of quick marker or brush lettering while keeping shapes consistent enough for readable display text.
The glyph set shows consistent stroke thickness and a steady baseline, but with intentional wobbles in curves and joins that keep the texture lively. Distinctive condensed caps and narrow bowls help maintain a strong vertical rhythm in text, and punctuation (like the dots on i/j) appears sturdy and prominent for the style.
