A chunky, hand-drawn print style with rounded forms and a slightly bouncy baseline. Strokes show noticeable contrast and organic pressure changes, with occasional ink-trap-like notches and small interior counters that keep the letters lively. Terminals are softly blunted and often taper or flare subtly, and proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating an intentionally irregular rhythm. Uppercase shapes are simplified and bold, while lowercase stays compact and legible with single-storey forms and minimal joining behavior.
Best suited to display sizes where its thick strokes and lively irregularity read as intentional character—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, stickers, and social media graphics. It can also work for short captions or labels where a friendly, handmade voice is desired rather than a polished typographic texture.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick marker lettering on a poster or classroom sign. Its uneven rhythm and friendly curves feel approachable and a bit mischievous, emphasizing personality over precision.
Designed to capture the look of bold, casual hand lettering with a marker-like presence—prioritizing charm, spontaneity, and strong silhouettes for attention-grabbing display use.
In text, the dark color and tight counters can make long passages feel dense, but short lines maintain good clarity thanks to distinct silhouettes and generous rounding. Numerals match the same hand-drawn logic, with slightly varied widths and soft, bulbous curves that blend naturally with the letters.
