A rounded, hand-drawn print face with thick strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letterforms show gentle irregularities in width and curvature, creating a lively, slightly bouncy rhythm rather than rigid geometric consistency. Counters are generally open and simple, with single‑storey lowercase forms and compact, curved joins; stems often taper subtly into rounded ends. The numerals and capitals follow the same marker-like construction, favoring smooth curves and simplified shapes for quick readability.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—such as children’s titles, playful posters, casual branding, packaging, and social media graphics. It can work in brief paragraphs at larger sizes thanks to its open shapes and generous spacing, but it will be most effective as a headline or callout face.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a cheerful, approachable personality. Its mild wobble and soft edges read as human and conversational, leaning toward whimsical without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, quick hand lettering with a marker or felt-tip feel—prioritizing approachability, simplicity, and a recognizable handmade texture over strict typographic precision.
Spacing appears comfortably loose, helping the heavy strokes stay legible in text. The design maintains consistent softness across caps, lowercase, and figures, which keeps mixed-case settings cohesive and kid-friendly while still usable for general display.
