A compact, hand-drawn print with thick, brush-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms are tall and narrow overall, with a lively baseline and subtly uneven contours that preserve a natural marker rhythm. Curves are slightly pinched and asymmetrical, counters tend to be small, and spacing varies from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the informal, drawn-by-hand construction. Uppercase shapes feel simplified and sturdy, while the lowercase stays compact with short ascenders/descenders and straightforward, single-storey forms.
Best suited to short-to-medium bursts of text where personality is the priority: posters, packaging callouts, social graphics, labels, and playful headlines. It can also work for children’s materials and casual signage, while extended body copy may feel visually busy due to the dense strokes and variable spacing.
The font reads as upbeat and approachable, with a casual, sketchbook energy. Its irregularities feel intentional and human, giving text a chatty, spontaneous tone rather than a polished typographic one.
The design appears intended to mimic quick marker lettering in an all-caps-friendly, readable print style. Its narrow, upright stance and simplified construction aim to deliver strong impact with an unmistakably handmade character.
The texture is consistently dense and dark, so small sizes can look tight where counters narrow, especially in rounded letters. Numerals match the same hand-rendered logic and keep a simple, legible silhouette with slight shape wobble that suits informal settings.
