A compact, hand-drawn print face with thick, rounded strokes and softly irregular terminals. The letterforms are tall and condensed overall, with gently uneven curves and slight wobble that keeps the texture lively without becoming messy. Counters are small but open enough for display use, and shapes favor simple, blunt construction—especially in the straight-sided caps—balanced by bulbous joins and occasional teardrop-like endings. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where a friendly, informal voice is desired—headlines, posters, packaging and labels, social graphics, and playful branding. It can also work for brief captions or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is approachable and upbeat, with a crafty, homemade energy. Its narrow, bouncy silhouettes and inky softness suggest informality and warmth, making the text feel conversational rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to emulate quick marker or brush lettering in a tidy, repeatable way—capturing hand-made charm while remaining consistent enough for punchy display typography.
Capitals read as simplified, poster-like forms with rounded corners and minimal detailing, while the lowercase introduces more personality through varied bowls and occasional looping descenders. Numerals follow the same hand-inked logic, with compact proportions and rounded corners that match the overall texture.
