A lively hand-drawn print face with thick, brush-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are slightly slanted with an uneven baseline and gently irregular curves, creating a natural, written-by-hand rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with compact counters and simplified constructions that keep shapes bold and legible, while subtle stroke wobble and occasional tapering preserve a marker/brush texture. Spacing is moderately tight and the overall color is dark and even on the page despite the handmade irregularities.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality is the priority: packaging callouts, posters, social graphics, playful headlines, classroom materials, and DIY/craft branding. It also works well for quotes, invitations, or labels that benefit from a friendly handwritten feel, especially at larger sizes where the brush texture can read clearly.
The font reads as upbeat and approachable, with a spontaneous, crafty energy. Its bouncy rhythm and chunky strokes give it a cheerful, conversational tone that feels human and unpretentious rather than formal or precise.
Likely designed to emulate a bold marker/brush handprint—clear, energetic, and informal—while staying readable in display settings. The intention appears to balance strong visual impact with a relaxed, human cadence rather than typographic precision.
Uppercase forms are simple and sturdy with softened corners, while lowercase letters lean toward single-storey, handwritten conventions. Numerals follow the same casual logic, with rounded, open shapes that match the text color and maintain a consistent hand-drawn character.
