A chunky, rounded hand-drawn sans with soft, inflated shapes and a loose, marker-like stroke. Letterforms show noticeable texture and interior speckling, with subtly uneven curves and terminals that create an imperfect, inked impression. Counters are generally open and generous, while strokes vary in thickness within each glyph, producing lively rhythm and a slightly blotty color on the page. Overall spacing feels relaxed and organic rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited for display applications where texture and personality are an asset—posters, packaging, labels, stickers, and social or editorial graphics. It also works well for playful branding, headlines, and short callouts, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed fill can be appreciated.
The font conveys a playful, approachable tone with a crafty, DIY attitude. Its roughened fill and irregularities add a lightly grungy edge that feels informal and energetic, like hand-lettering made with a thick paint pen or marker.
Likely designed to mimic bold, casual marker lettering while retaining consistent readability. The added texture and unevenness appear intentional, aiming to deliver a tactile, hand-printed look with a fun, informal presence.
Uppercase forms are broad and rounded, while the lowercase keeps a simple, handwritten construction that stays highly legible in short bursts. Numerals match the same soft, ink-heavy style, with rounded turns and visible texture that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
