A compact, hand-drawn print face with thick, rounded strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letterforms show gentle irregularities in stroke flow and width, creating a lively rhythm without becoming messy. Curves are full and slightly elastic, while straight strokes often have a subtle taper or wobble that reinforces the marker/brush feel. Counters are generally open and clear, and spacing feels even but informal, supporting legibility at medium sizes.
Works best for short-to-medium text where personality matters: packaging, café or boutique signage, posters, social graphics, invitations, and educational or children’s materials. It’s especially effective for headlines, labels, and callouts where a friendly, handmade tone is desired.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, with a kid-friendly, conversational character. Its slightly bouncy shapes and soft edges give it an inviting, lighthearted presence suited to informal messaging and cheerful branding.
The design appears intended to mimic casual hand lettering with a confident, filled-in stroke—prioritizing approachability and visual warmth while staying readable and consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rounded, handwritten logic, with single-storey forms in the lowercase and a consistent, softened geometry throughout. Numerals match the same chunky, friendly construction, keeping a cohesive color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
