A chunky, hand-drawn display face with rounded terminals and softly flared, wedge-like stroke endings that create a subtle calligraphic feel. Strokes are thick with moderate modulation, and curves are generously swollen, giving counters an organic, slightly irregular shape. Letterforms show a consistent handmade rhythm, with small asymmetries and lively joins (notably in diagonals and bowls) that keep texture animated in text. Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive, simplified construction, and the numerals follow the same bulbous, brush-cut logic for a unified set.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, titles, packaging, and cover typography where its handmade texture can be appreciated. It also fits playful branding and children’s or craft-oriented materials, working well in short bursts of text like pull quotes, labels, and signage.
The overall tone is friendly and whimsical, suggesting a casual, handcrafted voice rather than a formal or technical one. Its soft, rounded weight and slightly eccentric details read as approachable and characterful, with a storybook or folk-art warmth.
The design appears intended to mimic a confident, marker-or-brush drawn print style while maintaining consistent, repeatable shapes for typesetting. Its goal is to deliver an informal, character-rich texture that feels human and friendly in display typography.
In longer lines the dense, dark color builds quickly, so it reads most comfortably when given breathing room through generous tracking and line spacing. The distinctive wedge terminals and irregular curves help headings feel bespoke, but they can also make fine detail feel busy at smaller sizes.
