A heavy, brush-like handwritten with rounded terminals and a slightly right-leaning rhythm. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with soft, blunted ends and subtle wobble that keeps the texture organic. Letterforms are compact and chunky with generous curves, occasional teardrop-like counters, and mild variation in character widths that enhances the hand-drawn feel. Spacing is open enough for display use, though the dense stroke mass gives lines a bold, inked presence.
Best suited to short to medium-length display text where personality matters: headlines, posters, product packaging, stickers, and social media graphics. It can also work for playful branding, event promotions, or kid-focused materials, especially at larger sizes where the brush texture and rounded shapes can breathe.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, like marker or paint lettering used for fun signage. It reads as friendly and informal, with a lively bounce that feels human and spontaneous rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate confident, thick marker/brush lettering with a consistent bold footprint and an intentionally imperfect, hand-drawn cadence. The goal appears to be immediate warmth and impact, prioritizing character and punch over formal precision.
Capital shapes stay simple and rounded, while several lowercase forms show distinctive handwritten construction (single-storey forms and simplified joins). Numerals match the same soft, brushy weight and maintain the same casual, slightly slanted motion for a cohesive set.
