A rounded, hand-drawn print with thick, softly swelling strokes and blunt, slightly irregular terminals. Curves are generously open and counters tend to be large, giving the letters an airy, approachable silhouette. Baseline and sidebearings feel loosely controlled, creating a lively rhythm and occasional width variation from glyph to glyph. Shapes lean toward simplified construction with subtly wobbly outlines that preserve a drawn-by-hand texture while remaining clear at display sizes.
Well suited to children’s materials, playful branding, and packaging where warmth and approachability are key. It performs best in headlines, short paragraphs, and display copy on posters or social content, where the rounded forms and hand-drawn rhythm can be appreciated without needing tight, text-size economy.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a toy-like bounce that feels conversational rather than polished. Its unevenness reads as intentional and personable, suggesting spontaneity and humor without becoming messy.
Designed to emulate informal marker or brush-like printing with friendly proportions and intentionally uneven details. The goal appears to be a legible, upbeat display voice that signals personality and approachability over strict typographic precision.
Uppercase forms are compact and rounded, while lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, reinforcing an easygoing handwritten feel. Dots are small and circular, and numerals follow the same soft, chunky logic for a cohesive set in headings and short strings.
