A chunky, hand-drawn print face with rounded strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letterforms are slightly irregular with a gentle wobble in verticals and curves, creating an organic rhythm while staying clearly upright. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall spacing feels loose and relaxed, with lively shapes in diagonals (K, V, W, X) and loopier forms in g, y, and 2 that reinforce the informal construction.
Works best for short to medium display copy where a warm, informal voice is desired—such as packaging, café menus, event posters, children’s materials, stickers, and social graphics. It can also suit branding that wants a friendly handcrafted presence, especially when used at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The tone is cheerful and approachable, with a homemade, doodled quality that reads as casual and personable. Its bouncy proportions and soft edges give it a lighthearted, kid-friendly feel without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to mimic confident marker or brush lettering in a clean, unconnected print style, prioritizing friendliness and immediacy over strict geometric precision. Its consistent stroke weight and rounded finishing aim for strong visibility and a welcoming, handcrafted personality.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rounded, simplified construction, making mixed-case text look cohesive and poster-like. Numerals are equally playful and bulbous, matching the letterforms and maintaining clear differentiation at display sizes.
