A chunky handwritten print with broad, rounded strokes and visibly irregular edges that mimic a felt-tip or brush marker. Letterforms are slightly right-leaning with simplified construction, open counters, and softly uneven terminals, giving the alphabet a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Proportions are compact with a tight, vertical footprint; curves are inflated and straight strokes wobble subtly, creating an organic texture that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This style works best for display use where a handmade voice is desirable: posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, café-style signage, and social media graphics. It can also serve as an accent face for quotes or short blurbs, especially when paired with a calmer text typeface.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a playful, slightly scruffy energy that feels personable and spontaneous. Its imperfect contours and bouncy shapes suggest a DIY, craft-forward sensibility rather than polished typography, making it approachable and characterful.
The design appears intended to replicate an expressive, hand-lettered marker look with enough consistency for repeated use, prioritizing warmth and personality over geometric precision. It aims to deliver strong visual presence and a casual, human touch in display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase differ in personality enough to support mixed-case setting, while still sharing the same marker-like texture. Numerals are bold and simple, matching the blunt, hand-rendered style and staying legible in short strings and headings.
