A rounded, heavy handwritten print with soft terminals and a mostly monoline stroke feel. Forms are built from bulbous curves and gently flattened joins, creating a chunky silhouette with minimal sharp corners. Proportions are slightly irregular and variable in width, with simplified constructions (single-storey a and g, compact counters, and a short, curved crossbar on t). The overall rhythm is lively and informal, prioritizing legibility through large shapes and clear interior space.
Works well for short-to-medium text where warmth and approachability matter, such as children’s materials, playful packaging, event flyers, and casual headlines. Its heavy, rounded shapes also suit display use in social graphics and signage where quick readability at a distance is helpful.
The font reads as cheerful and approachable, like a marker or felt-tip note. Its bouncy curves and softened geometry give it a lighthearted, kid-friendly personality that feels conversational rather than formal.
Designed to deliver an informal handwritten print look with strong presence and easy readability, emphasizing rounded shapes and a friendly, approachable tone over precision or formality.
Capitals are simple and sturdy, with notably rounded bowls (B, P, R) and a soft-angled leg in K. The Q uses a clear tail, and the numerals are similarly rounded and chunky, maintaining the same friendly texture across the set.
