A heavy, rounded hand-drawn print with softly inflated strokes and consistently blunted terminals. Forms lean on simple geometric masses—full bowls, wide counters, and minimal interior detail—creating a smooth, marker-like texture. Curves are dominant and corners are softened throughout, while widths and spacing vary slightly from letter to letter, reinforcing an organic, drawn rhythm. Lowercase is compact and readable with single-storey structures and round i-dots, and numerals are bold, open, and friendly in silhouette.
Well suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and friendly branding. It also fits children’s content, crafts, and casual signage where a warm, hand-made voice is desirable.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a playful, cartoon-like bounce that feels informal and welcoming. Its soft edges and chunky shapes suggest warmth and humor rather than precision or formality.
The letterforms appear intended to mimic a bold felt-tip or brush-pen print style, prioritizing charm and immediacy over typographic strictness. The consistent softness and simplified construction aim for high-impact friendliness and easy recognition at display sizes.
The design favors legibility through large apertures and clear silhouettes, but its dense weight and lively proportions can create a strong dark texture in longer passages. It performs best when given a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
