A compact, hand-drawn print with chunky, rounded strokes and softly flared terminals. The forms are mostly upright with a gently wobbly baseline and slightly uneven curves that keep the texture lively. Counters are small and often teardrop-shaped, and several letters show simplified, single-storey constructions with casual joins and subtle stroke tapering. Spacing is tight and the narrow set width produces a dense, vertical rhythm, while the overall silhouette stays consistent and readable at display sizes.
Works best for short to medium display copy where a friendly, informal voice is needed—such as posters, packaging, social graphics, kids-oriented materials, and greeting cards. It can also serve as an expressive accent in branding when used sparingly alongside a neutral text face.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a doodled, storybook quality that feels humorous rather than formal. Its bouncy proportions and soft edges give it a cozy, handmade personality suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick marker or brush lettering in a controlled, repeatable way—prioritizing charm, bold presence, and a handcrafted feel over strict geometric regularity.
Capitals are simple and poster-like, while the lowercase introduces more personality through looped bowls and slightly irregular stems. Numerals match the letterforms with rounded corners and compact shapes, keeping the overall color dark and even across lines of text.
