A compact, hand-drawn print face with thick, rounded strokes and soft, slightly irregular contours. Letterforms are mostly upright with a gently bouncy baseline and uneven stroke edges that mimic marker or brush pressure without strong contrast. Counters are generally small and rounded, and many joins and terminals feel blunted, giving the glyphs a chunky silhouette. Spacing is open enough for clarity, while widths vary modestly across characters, reinforcing an organic, written rhythm.
Best suited to short-form text where personality is the priority, such as headlines, posters, product packaging, labels, and playful branding. It also works well for children’s materials, classroom resources, and craft or DIY-themed designs, especially at medium to large sizes where the soft edges and irregularities can be appreciated.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a lighthearted, homemade character. Subtle inconsistencies in curves and verticals add charm and approachability rather than strict precision, making the font feel personable and conversational.
The design appears intended to capture a casual, hand-lettered look with consistent legibility and a bold, approachable presence. It balances sturdy shapes with deliberate imperfections to feel human, friendly, and attention-grabbing in display contexts.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and poster-like, while the lowercase adds extra bounce and individuality through simplified shapes and rounded details. Numerals follow the same chunky, friendly construction and remain highly legible at display sizes.
