A heavy, brush-like handwritten print with rounded terminals and a consistently full stroke throughout. The letters lean forward and show subtly irregular curves, giving a drawn-by-hand rhythm rather than geometric precision. Counters are generally small and softened, with compact, blobby shapes in rounds like O/C and thick joins in M/N/W. Uppercase forms are chunky and simplified, while lowercase keeps a lively, single-storey feel and a bouncy baseline that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, product packaging, stickers, social graphics, and playful branding. The dense, heavy strokes favor larger sizes where the rounded counters and brush texture stay clear, while long passages at small sizes may feel dark and crowded.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a comic, weekend-marker personality. Its thick, soft forms feel welcoming and informal, suggesting handmade signage and friendly emphasis rather than seriousness or restraint.
Designed to deliver bold, handwritten emphasis with a friendly, informal voice. The consistent, thick brush shapes and forward-leaning posture prioritize impact and personality over typographic neutrality, aiming for expressive display typography that feels human and spontaneous.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a way that reinforces the hand-rendered character, and the slant adds momentum in longer lines. Numerals match the letterforms with the same rounded, brushy weight, supporting cohesive headline and poster use.
