A loose, handwritten print face with rounded forms and a slightly brushy stroke that swells and tapers through curves and terminals. Letter shapes are simplified and open, with soft corners and an uneven, lively baseline rhythm that mimics quick marker writing. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with compact counters and a relatively short lowercase body, while ascenders and descenders extend with casual, sometimes hook-like endings. Overall spacing reads natural and slightly irregular, reinforcing the hand-drawn character without becoming overly rough.
Works best for short to medium-length text where personality is the priority—posters, invites, labels, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It also fits children’s materials and casual display settings where an easygoing, human touch is desired.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a spontaneous, doodled energy that feels personal rather than formal. Its uneven rhythm and soft forms suggest friendliness and humor, making it well suited to lighthearted messaging and informal branding.
Designed to capture the immediacy of handwritten marker lettering while remaining legible in continuous text. The intention appears to prioritize warmth, individuality, and a natural writing rhythm over geometric consistency.
Caps and lowercase maintain a consistent hand while differing in width and stance, producing a lively texture in text. Several letters show distinctive, idiosyncratic gestures (rounded bowls, angled joins, and occasional exaggerated hooks) that add personality and help the font feel intentionally hand-made.
