A rounded, brush-like handwritten print with thick, softly tapered strokes and low internal detailing. Letterforms lean slightly and show gentle irregularities in curvature and width, creating a lively, human rhythm. Counters are generally open and simplified, with bulbous terminals and occasional wedge-like joins that give the shapes a chunky, inked feel. Spacing feels generous and the overall texture is dark and even, designed to read clearly at display sizes while retaining its hand-drawn character.
Works best for short-to-medium display text such as packaging, posters, menu headings, social posts, stickers, and branding that benefits from a handmade feel. It can also suit children’s materials and playful editorial callouts where warmth and immediacy are more important than typographic formality.
The font conveys an upbeat, approachable tone that feels informal and personable. Its soft edges and buoyant motion suggest warmth and humor rather than precision, making it well-suited to cheerful, lighthearted messaging.
Likely drawn to mimic a quick marker or brush-pen print: clear, chunky shapes with intentional imperfections that communicate friendliness and spontaneity. The design prioritizes personality and readability over strict consistency, aiming for an inviting, handcrafted presence.
Uppercase forms are compact and energetic, while lowercase letters keep simple, single-storey constructions and rounded shoulders that reinforce the casual voice. Numerals match the same friendly, blobby geometry, maintaining consistent weight and softness across the set.
