A monoline, hand-drawn sans with rounded terminals and intentionally uneven stroke behavior. Letterforms lean on simple geometry—open bowls, soft curves, and straight stems—but with frequent wobble, slight asymmetries, and irregular joins that create a lively rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with generous counters and airy spacing; punctuation and numerals follow the same casual, marker-like construction.
Best suited to short, expressive copy such as posters, headlines, captions, greeting cards, kids-oriented materials, and playful packaging. It also works well for social graphics and informal branding moments where personality matters more than typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is lighthearted and mischievous, with a doodled quality that feels spontaneous rather than engineered. Its bouncy outlines and imperfect consistency suggest approachability and humor, making text feel conversational and human.
Designed to communicate a deliberate handmade feel—like quick marker lettering—while staying legible and broadly familiar in structure. The goal appears to be adding charm and individuality through controlled irregularity rather than strict typographic refinement.
Distinctive quirks include simplified, single-storey lowercase forms and occasional exaggerated angles in diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, and y), which add character but also increase texture in longer runs. The irregularity is consistent enough to read smoothly at display sizes, while small sizes may show more jitter in curves and terminals.
