A chunky, hand-drawn print style with rounded terminals and a softly irregular stroke that suggests marker or brush lettering. Forms are compact and slightly condensed, with simplified construction and intermittent contrast from pressure-like thickening in curves and joins. The texture is intentionally uneven: bowls and counters vary subtly, curves wobble gently, and verticals don’t feel mechanically straight, creating an organic rhythm. Uppercase has sturdy, poster-like silhouettes, while lowercase mixes single-storey shapes and playful entry/exit flicks; numerals are similarly rounded and informal.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, packaging labels, posters, greeting cards, and playful editorial callouts. It can work in short-to-medium text blocks when set with generous leading, but it shines most when used for titles, slogans, and brand phrases that benefit from an informal, handcrafted voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a homemade charm that reads as casual rather than formal. Its bouncy proportions and soft corners give it a friendly, kid-lit and craft-oriented feel, while the darker color and compact width keep it assertive on the page.
Designed to capture the warmth and spontaneity of hand lettering in an unconnected print form, balancing legibility with a deliberately imperfect, drawn texture. The goal appears to be a friendly display face that feels personal and lively without becoming cursive or ornate.
Spacing and widths feel loosely normalized but not rigid, reinforcing the hand-rendered character. The font holds together well in short phrases and display lines, where the irregularities become a feature rather than a distraction.
