A rounded, monolinear display face with an intentionally irregular, hand-drawn construction. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness but wobble slightly, with softened terminals that often end in small bulb-like dots or blunt caps. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven rhythm and a lively texture in words; bowls are generous and open, and counters remain clear. The lowercase set is simple and single-storey, with a tall, narrow feel in letters like i, l, and t, and a casually looping descender in forms like g and y. Numerals follow the same informal logic, with open, rounded shapes and slight asymmetry that reads as drawn rather than engineered.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where personality is the priority: headlines, posters, book covers, packaging, greeting cards, and playful branding. It can work for small blocks of copy when set generously, but its irregular rhythm is most effective in titles, captions, and callouts.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, like lettering for a quirky children’s title or a crafty boutique label. Its irregularities and soft endings give it an approachable, humorous personality, emphasizing charm over precision.
The design appears intended to mimic casual marker or pen lettering while maintaining a consistent monoline structure, using deliberate irregularity and rounded terminals to produce a distinctive, comedic voice for decorative typography.
In longer text the font creates a distinctly “bouncy” baseline color due to varying widths and subtly inconsistent stroke behavior, which strengthens its character but reduces suitability for dense reading. The dotted/clubbed terminal motif is a defining visual signature that helps the design remain cohesive despite the uneven letterfit.
