A chunky, hand-drawn print style with rounded forms and softly irregular outlines that mimic a felt-tip or brush marker. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with subtle wobble, tapered joins, and slightly uneven terminals that keep the texture lively. Proportions are compact with a modest x-height, and many letters lean forward, giving the line a quick, written rhythm. Counters are relatively small and organic, and spacing feels naturally variable, like lettering rather than constructed type.
This font suits short to medium display text where a friendly, handcrafted voice is desired—posters, playful branding, packaging callouts, stickers, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It works especially well at larger sizes where the textured edges and bouncy rhythm can read clearly and contribute to the overall charm.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with an informal, kid-friendly personality. Its forward-leaning, slightly wobbly shapes suggest spontaneity and warmth, making the text feel conversational and energetic rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand lettering in a dependable, repeatable form: bold marker-like shapes, relaxed spacing, and a lively forward motion that keeps headlines and slogans feeling human and informal.
Capitals are simple and sturdy, while lowercase forms show more individuality (notably in curved letters and looped descenders), reinforcing the handmade character. Numerals follow the same marker-drawn logic with rounded bends and slight asymmetry, staying consistent in weight and texture across the set.
