A hand-drawn print face with compact, vertically oriented letterforms and softly rounded terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with slight wobble and subtle swelling that creates an organic, marker-like texture. Counters are small and irregular, and the curves (notably in C, G, O, S) feel pinched and lively rather than geometric. Overall rhythm is tight and energetic, with modest baseline irregularity and a consistently informal, doodled finish.
Best suited to short display settings where personality matters—posters, playful branding, packaging, greeting cards, and children-oriented materials. It also works well for pull quotes, labels, and social graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its irregular details stay crisp.
The tone is cheerful and approachable, with a quirky, storybook feel. Its bouncy shapes and uneven hand pressure read as personal and spontaneous, lending warmth and humor to short messages.
Designed to emulate a confident hand-lettered print with thick strokes and lively, slightly imperfect outlines, prioritizing friendliness and character over strict typographic regularity.
Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive handmade logic, with simplified construction and rounded joins that favor charm over precision. Numerals match the same chunky, hand-drawn stance, making the set feel unified for casual display use.
