A lively, marker-like hand print with thick, rounded strokes and visibly softened terminals. Letterforms are built from simple, confident gestures with slight wobble and width fluctuation, giving an organic, drawn-on feel while staying legible. Curves are generous and bowls run large, with occasional teardrop-like stroke endings and a generally open, uncluttered interior structure. Spacing and sidebearings feel uneven in an intentional way, contributing to a loose, animated rhythm across words.
Works best in short to medium settings where personality is the priority—such as headlines, posters, stickers, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It can also suit children’s content, classroom materials, and casual branding where an inviting, hand-drawn voice is desired.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a chatty, kid-friendly energy. Its bouncy proportions and handmade irregularities suggest spontaneity and personality rather than precision, making text feel human and informal.
Designed to mimic an easygoing hand-printed note made with a felt-tip marker or brush pen, combining high legibility with deliberate irregularities to keep the texture personal and expressive.
Uppercase forms read as playful caps with simplified construction, while the lowercase maintains a handwritten cadence with rounded joins and a soft baseline drift. Numerals follow the same brush-pen logic, prioritizing friendliness over strict geometric consistency.
