A compact, hand-drawn print face with thick, mostly monoline strokes and rounded, blobby terminals. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with slightly irregular stroke edges that mimic marker or brush lettering. Curves are soft and inflated, counters are modest and sometimes asymmetrical, and joins show a natural hand pressure rather than geometric precision. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, producing an organic rhythm while maintaining clear, unconnected forms.
Best used for display settings such as posters, playful headlines, product packaging, stickers, and social media graphics where a friendly handmade voice is desired. It can work for short UI labels or captions when sizes are generous, but the dense strokes and narrow forms are most effective in brief, high-impact lines.
The tone is lighthearted and approachable, with a kid-friendly, doodled energy. Its informal shapes and buoyant proportions feel conversational and homemade, suited to cheerful messaging rather than formal typography.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered marker printing: bold, compact, and slightly imperfect, prioritizing personality and warmth over strict consistency.
The uppercase set reads tall and compact, while the lowercase maintains simple, single-storey constructions with minimal ornament. Numerals match the same rounded, hand-inked texture, keeping the overall color dense and attention-grabbing in short bursts.
