A compact, hand-drawn print style with thick, even strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms lean on simple geometric construction—oval bowls, straight stems, and gently curved joins—while keeping an intentionally imperfect, organic rhythm. Proportions are on the condensed side with tight internal counters, and many shapes show subtle wobble and asymmetry that reinforce the drawn-in-marker feel. Lowercase forms are single-storey where applicable, with short ascenders/descenders and a sturdy, high-contrast-free silhouette that stays legible at display sizes.
Well-suited to playful branding, children’s books, classroom materials, packaging, stickers, and upbeat poster headlines. It also fits short UI labels or social graphics where a friendly, informal voice is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lighthearted, kid-friendly character. Its bouncy spacing and softened shapes give it a cheerful, handmade personality that feels casual rather than formal or technical.
Designed to mimic bold hand lettering made with a felt-tip marker—clear, rounded, and intentionally imperfect—to communicate friendliness and fun while remaining readable in short bursts of text.
The numerals and capitals match the same rounded, simplified construction, producing a consistent, cohesive texture in headlines. The heavy stroke weight and compact counters suggest it will hold up best with a bit of extra size or breathing room in tight settings.
