A rounded, hand-drawn print face with thick, monoline strokes and fully softened terminals. Letterforms lean on simple geometry—oval bowls, wide curves, and minimal contrast—while maintaining an intentionally irregular, marker-like rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with generously open counters and a slightly bouncy baseline feel that keeps the texture lively in words. Numerals match the alphabet’s soft, inflated construction, with smooth curves and compact internal spaces.
Works best for short to medium-length text where a playful, informal voice is desired—children’s materials, classroom resources, product packaging, event posters, stickers, and social media graphics. The bold, rounded construction also suits signage and headings where quick recognition and a friendly tone matter.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, with a kid-friendly, cartoon-leaning warmth. Its soft edges and informal consistency suggest a relaxed, human touch rather than a strict mechanical build, making the text feel conversational and cheerful.
The design appears intended to mimic a thick marker or felt-tip drawing, prioritizing warmth, simplicity, and immediacy over precision. It aims to deliver a cheerful, approachable texture that reads clearly while retaining a handcrafted personality.
In longer text, the heavy stroke and rounded joins create a dense, high-ink color, while the open shapes help retain clarity. The lowercase shows particularly friendly forms (single-storey a and g), and the rounded caps keep headlines feeling soft rather than authoritative.
