A lively hand-drawn print with thick, rounded strokes and subtly uneven contours that mimic marker or brush pressure. Letterforms are simplified and upright, with soft terminals, occasional ink-like bulges, and gentle narrowing through turns. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating an organic rhythm; counters are generally open and the overall silhouette reads dark and sturdy. The lowercase is compact with a comparatively short x-height, while capitals are tall and prominent, helping headings stand out.
Well suited to short-form display use such as posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, and cheerful headlines where a handmade feel is desirable. It works especially well for playful brands and kid-oriented materials, and can add personality to quotes, invitations, and informal signage.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a lighthearted, slightly mischievous personality. Its irregularities feel intentional and human, lending a spontaneous, approachable voice that suits upbeat and characterful messaging.
This font appears designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered marker text while keeping letterforms simple and readable. The goal seems to be an approachable, high-impact look that feels personal and energetic rather than polished or mechanical.
Distinctive, hand-shaped details—such as the rounded joins, slightly wobbling stems, and expressive curves in letters like a, g, k, and y—give the design a consistent handmade texture. Numerals follow the same drawn style and remain clear at display sizes.
