A compact, heavy sans with softly rounded corners and visibly hand-drawn contours. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, but with subtle wobble and uneven terminals that suggest marker or brush pressure without true calligraphic contrast. Proportions are relatively tight, with short extenders and a sturdy, squared-off silhouette; counters stay open enough to keep large text clear while preserving an organic texture.
Works best for headlines, posters, packaging, and short promotional copy where a friendly, crafted feel is desired. It can suit children’s materials, café or boutique branding, event flyers, and social graphics. For long passages, it will be most comfortable in larger sizes and with generous line spacing due to the heavy color and compact forms.
This font feels friendly and approachable, with an easygoing, handmade tone. Its slightly rough, imperfect edges add warmth and a casual, human rhythm that reads as playful without becoming overly quirky.
The design appears intended to deliver bold, attention-getting text with a deliberately imperfect, hand-rendered finish. It aims to combine strong legibility at display sizes with a personable, informal voice that feels less mechanical than a standard grotesk.
Letterforms show consistent construction but intentionally uneven edges and occasional angular nicks, giving a cut-paper or marker-drawn impression. The numerals and capitals maintain the same sturdy presence, supporting emphatic titling and simple display layouts.
