A lively, hand-drawn display face with rounded strokes, soft terminals, and subtly uneven contours that mimic marker or brush lettering. Curves are generously inflated, with occasional bulges and wobble that create a loose, organic rhythm. Counters stay fairly open and the overall construction remains legible, while irregular stroke behavior and variable character widths add a deliberately imperfect, doodled texture across lines of text.
Best used at display sizes where its irregular texture and rounded forms can be appreciated—such as posters, headlines, playful packaging, children’s materials, and casual social or promotional graphics. It can also work for short passages when a friendly, handmade tone is more important than typographic neutrality.
The font feels upbeat and mischievous, with a childlike, sketchbook charm that reads as humorous rather than formal. Its bouncy proportions and slightly unpredictable shapes convey a light, approachable tone suited to playful messaging.
The design appears intended to provide an instantly recognizable, handmade voice—combining approachable rounded shapes with a wacky, offbeat irregularity for expressive display typography.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent informal logic, with rounded joins and simplified forms that prioritize personality over precision. Numerals follow the same casual, hand-rendered style, keeping texture consistent in mixed alphanumeric settings.
