A compact, hand-drawn print face with thick, rounded strokes and softly swollen terminals that create an inky, slightly blobby silhouette. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a tight, lively rhythm, showing small, intentional irregularities in stem thickness and curvature that mimic marker or brush pressure. Counters tend to be small and rounded, and joins are smooth rather than sharp, giving the alphabet a friendly, simplified structure. Overall spacing is a bit uneven in a natural way, reinforcing the handmade texture while remaining readable at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where its textured, hand-rendered personality can be seen clearly. It works well for packaging, café or market-style signage, children’s materials, and craft-oriented branding that benefits from a friendly, informal voice.
The font feels lighthearted and approachable, with a quirky, storybook tone that suggests handmade signage and casual notes. Its inky, rounded shapes give it warmth and humor, leaning nostalgic without becoming formal or ornate.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of hand lettering while keeping a stable, print-like structure for quick recognition. Its narrow proportions and inky rounded strokes prioritize character and charm over neutrality, making it a distinctive display companion.
Capitals have a bouncy, characterful presence and stand out well in short words, while lowercase maintains a consistent narrow profile and soft curves. The numerals share the same rounded, irregular stroke behavior, supporting cohesive use in playful headings and labels.
