A chunky, hand-drawn print with rounded terminals and subtly irregular contours that mimic marker or brush lettering. Strokes stay broadly consistent while showing organic swelling and wobble, creating medium contrast within a generally heavy silhouette. Counters are compact and slightly uneven, and letter widths vary from narrow to wider forms, giving the text a lively rhythm. The lowercase is simple and open, with a single-storey “a,” tall ascenders, and compact bowls; numerals share the same soft, informal construction.
Well suited for short display text such as posters, packaging callouts, stickers, and social graphics where a friendly, informal voice is desired. It can work for kids-oriented materials, casual branding, and event signage, especially when set with generous size and spacing to preserve interior shapes.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a quirky, homemade character that feels personable rather than polished. Its bouncy spacing and imperfect edges suggest warmth and spontaneity, leaning toward fun, youthful messaging.
Designed to capture the look of hand-rendered marker/brush print lettering in a consistent font, prioritizing charm, energy, and readability over geometric precision. The uneven rhythm and softened forms aim to make messages feel personal and upbeat.
Capitals read clearly at display sizes, while the irregular stroke edges and tight counters add texture that becomes more noticeable as size decreases. The shapes favor rounded joins and softened corners, helping dense black areas feel less rigid and more friendly.
