A compact, hand-drawn print face with heavy, rounded strokes and soft, blunted terminals. Letterforms show gentle irregularities in stroke width and contour, with a bouncy baseline feel and slightly uneven curves that keep the texture lively. Counters are generally small and closed, and joins are simplified, giving the alphabet a chunky, approachable silhouette. Capitals are tall and narrow, while lowercase forms are compact with short ascenders/descenders and single-storey a and g.
Well suited to short headlines, kids-focused branding, playful packaging, and poster or sticker-style graphics where a friendly handmade voice is desired. It also works for social media graphics and casual signage, especially when set with generous tracking or at display sizes.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a childlike, cartoon-friendly warmth. Its soft edges and buoyant rhythm suggest spontaneity and approachability rather than precision or formality.
Designed to emulate quick, confident marker or brush lettering in unconnected print forms, prioritizing personality and charm over strict geometric consistency. The intent appears to be a bold, approachable display style that reads clearly while retaining a distinctly handmade texture.
Distinctive, slightly exaggerated shapes (notably in S, J, W, and numerals) add character, while consistent rounding helps maintain cohesion across the set. The dense black color and tight interior spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the playful contours can be appreciated.
