A lively, hand-drawn print style with thick, rounded strokes and gently irregular contours. Letterforms lean slightly and vary in width, giving the line a natural rhythm rather than a rigid grid fit. Terminals are soft and blobby, with occasional swelling at joins that suggests a marker or brush-pen feel. Counters are open and simple, and the overall texture reads dark and even despite the intentionally uneven outlines.
Works well for packaging, posters, headers, and short statements where an informal, hand-lettered look is desirable. It also fits children’s materials, craft and DIY branding, stickers, and social media graphics where personality and friendliness matter more than strict typographic precision.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a whimsical, doodled energy that feels informal and human. Its slightly wobbly shapes and buoyant spacing create a lighthearted voice suited to playful messaging rather than formal typography.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with a bold marker/brush texture—prioritizing charm, warmth, and spontaneity over geometric regularity. The consistent stroke weight and rounded forms aim to deliver a readable but characterful voice for expressive display use.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain a consistent, simplified construction, while figures are similarly rounded and friendly. The sample text shows strong word-shape character and a distinctive, handmade color that stands out most at display sizes and short lines.
