A heavy, hand-drawn print face with soft, rounded terminals and an irregular, organic stroke edge that mimics marker or brush lettering. The letterforms are tall and compact with tight counters and a slightly bouncy baseline feel, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for an intentionally uneven rhythm. Curves are full and bulbous, joins are simplified, and the overall construction favors bold silhouettes over fine detail, keeping forms clear even with narrow internal spaces.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters: posters, playful branding, packaging, stickers, social graphics, and short headlines. The dense, bold silhouettes can also work for labels and callouts at moderate sizes where the tight counters remain open enough to read.
The font reads warm and approachable, with a humorous, kid-friendly energy. Its quirky proportions and handmade wobble give it an informal, crafty tone that feels more personal than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, hand-lettered look that stays legible and consistent across a full alphanumeric set. Its condensed, chunky shapes prioritize strong impact and a friendly voice for informal communication.
Capital shapes are especially condensed and monolinear in feel, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic, doodle-like details (such as single-storey forms and simplified bowls). Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic and stay consistent in color, making the set feel cohesive for short, punchy statements.
