A rounded, marker-like print with chunky monoline strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letterforms are simplified and slightly irregular in a controlled way, with a gentle bounce in baseline rhythm and small variations in width and curvature that keep it feeling hand-drawn. Counters are generally open and generous (notably in O, D, P, R), and curves dominate the construction, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) stay thick and smooth rather than sharp. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with single-storey a and g and short, friendly ascenders and descenders.
Well-suited to children’s and family-oriented materials, casual branding, packaging, and cheerful posters. It also works nicely for short headlines, captions, and pull quotes where a friendly, hand-printed texture is desired over typographic precision.
The overall tone is warm and informal, conveying an easygoing, personable voice. Its soft shapes and subtle wobble suggest spontaneity and charm, making text feel inviting rather than formal or technical.
Likely designed to emulate a bold, hand-printed marker style that remains legible while retaining human irregularities. The intention appears to balance charm and clarity for upbeat display use.
Capitals are simple and sign-like, pairing well with the relaxed lowercase. Numerals match the same rounded construction and weight, maintaining a consistent, hand-lettered feel across alphanumerics.
