A lively hand-drawn print with narrow proportions and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast created by uneven pressure and occasional doubled contours, giving many letters a slightly outlined or ink-traced look. Terminals are rounded and soft, bowls are compact, and curves feel elastic rather than geometric. The overall texture is intentionally irregular, with small variations in stroke edges, counters, and widths that reinforce a drawn-by-hand character while remaining consistently legible.
Well-suited for display use where a handmade, friendly voice is desired—such as posters, playful packaging, stickers, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It also works for short paragraphs in informal contexts, especially at moderate sizes where the textured stroke edges remain clear.
The font conveys an approachable, informal tone that feels playful and a little mischievous. Its sketchy, marker-and-ink texture suggests spontaneity and human presence, making text feel conversational rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering made with a felt-tip or brushy pen, preserving natural inconsistencies and pressure changes. The goal is an energetic, approachable print style that adds personality and warmth to headings and short-form text.
Uppercase forms are simple and open, while lowercase includes a mix of single-story, handwritten-style shapes and occasional looped constructions, contributing to a quirky rhythm in longer text. Numerals share the same wobbly stroke behavior and rounded joins, keeping the set cohesive. The high-contrast, slightly jittery outlines create a dark, textured color on the page that reads best when allowed some breathing room.
