A chunky, hand-drawn print with thick, rounded strokes and an intentionally uneven outline that mimics marker or brush lettering. Counters are small-to-medium and often irregular, with soft corners and occasional blunt terminals that create a slightly blobby silhouette. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively rhythm; bowls and shoulders tend to be inflated, and horizontals and diagonals show subtle wobble rather than strict geometry. Overall spacing reads open and friendly, with a consistent heavy texture that holds together across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited for short-form display settings where a bold, handmade voice is desired—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, stickers, and casual branding. It also works well for playful editorial accents or social graphics when used with generous size and spacing.
The tone is playful and informal, like hand-lettered signage or a kid-friendly note written with a fat marker. Its irregularities feel intentional and personable, giving text a cheerful, slightly mischievous character rather than a polished, corporate voice.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-drawn marker lettering while keeping a coherent, repeatable alphabet. Its purpose is to add warmth, personality, and a slightly goofy energy to display text without requiring connected script behavior.
The sample text shows the font maintaining strong color and legibility at larger sizes, where the organic edges and varying letter shapes become part of the charm. The heavy strokes and tight-ish counters suggest it will look darker as sizes get smaller, emphasizing its display-forward nature.
