A chunky, hand-drawn display face with thick, rounded strokes and noticeably irregular contours, as if painted or inked with a soft marker. Forms are simplified and slightly blobby, with uneven curves, occasional flattening on terminals, and small internal counters that vary from glyph to glyph. Proportions drift intentionally—some letters are wider or more compact—and the rhythm is lively rather than mechanically consistent. The lowercase is friendly and compact, while capitals stay stout and upright with softened corners throughout.
Ideal for short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and playful branding where a handmade feel is desired. It also suits stickers, merch, and kid-focused or whimsical content, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the irregular contours and counters can breathe.
The font conveys a playful, imperfect charm that feels casual and human. Its wobble and inky edges add a quirky, slightly retro cartoon tone, making text feel approachable and energetic rather than formal or polished.
The design appears intended to mimic casual hand lettering with a thick marker or brush, prioritizing personality and texture over strict uniformity. Its goal is to add warmth and humor, providing a bold, friendly voice for display typography.
In running text the heavy weight and small counters create a dense color, so it reads best with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing. Numerals share the same hand-rendered irregularity, reinforcing a cohesive, handmade texture across letters and figures.
