A casual handwritten display face with rounded, brush-like strokes and visibly irregular edges. Letterforms are built from simple, open shapes with soft corners and occasional wobble, creating a lively rhythm across words. Strokes show slight texture and uneven pressure, giving counters and joins a subtly worn, inky feel while keeping overall forms clear and legible. Proportions are generally compact with straightforward construction, and spacing feels loose and natural rather than mechanically uniform.
Works best for short-to-medium text where character and informality are desired: posters, book covers, packaging callouts, café menus, and craft or DIY branding. It can also suit kid-friendly or lighthearted editorial headlines, especially when paired with a calmer companion font for body copy.
The tone is warm and informal, with a sketchy charm that feels human and approachable. Its roughened outlines and bouncy movement suggest spontaneity and craft, adding personality without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush or marker lettering with a deliberately imperfect finish, balancing legibility with a tactile, printed-by-hand impression. Its consistent irregularities aim to add energy and authenticity to display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-drawn logic, and numerals follow the same rounded, slightly irregular treatment for cohesive mixed setting. The texture is present enough to read as tactile at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes the soft roughness may visually thicken and benefit from a bit more breathing room.
