A lively, hand-drawn print face with thick, rounded strokes and softly tapered, brush-like terminals. The letterforms lean slightly and sit on a gently uneven baseline, creating a buoyant rhythm. Curves are full and open with minimal sharp corners, while stroke joins and counters show small, natural irregularities that reinforce the drawn-by-hand feel. Proportions vary across glyphs, with compact lowercase shapes and noticeably more prominent capitals and numerals.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy where warmth and informality are desirable—such as packaging callouts, posters, greeting cards, café menus, event promos, and social media graphics. It can also add personality to subheads or pull quotes, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with an informal, personable voice that feels crafted rather than mechanical. Its bouncy slant and soft, rounded forms give it a lighthearted character suited to friendly messaging and kid-adjacent or whimsical themes without becoming overly decorative.
Likely designed to emulate a confident marker or brush-pen hand with friendly, readable printed letterforms. The goal appears to be a casual display style that stays legible while conveying energy, approachability, and a handmade touch.
The font maintains strong visual consistency while preserving hand-made quirks, making repeated letters feel organic rather than strictly uniform. Numerals follow the same rounded, brushy construction and read clearly at display sizes.
