A rounded, marker-like hand with thick strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letterforms are largely monoline with gentle swelling in curves, and they keep an upright stance while allowing noticeable irregularities in stroke edges and join behavior. Counters tend to be open and slightly uneven, and curves lean toward circular, giving the alphabet a bubbly silhouette. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a drawn, informal rhythm.
Well-suited to short to medium-length display text where warmth and personality are desired, such as children’s materials, playful packaging, casual posters, and social content. It also works for inviting headings and callouts when a handmade feel is more important than typographic precision at small sizes.
The font projects a cheerful, approachable tone with a doodled, classroom energy. Its uneven outlines and buoyant shapes feel personal and unpolished in a deliberate way, creating an easygoing voice suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident marker lettering—prioritizing friendliness and immediacy over strict geometric consistency. Its consistent stroke weight and rounded construction aim to produce a bold, approachable texture that reads clearly while still feeling hand-made.
Capitals are simple and sturdy, while lowercase forms stay highly readable with generous apertures and rounded bowls. Numerals match the same soft, hand-drawn construction, with friendly curves and slightly irregular proportions that keep the texture consistent across mixed text.
