A casual, hand-drawn sans with rounded forms and intentionally uneven geometry. Strokes show gentle, brushlike modulation and slightly wobbly contours, with tapered joins and soft, bulbous terminals. Capitals are simple and open with irregular widths and subtle baseline/axis inconsistency that creates a lively rhythm. Lowercase is compact with a short x-height, single-storey shapes, and prominent dots, while numerals are bold and rounded with a slightly whimsical stance.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—children’s books, playful posters, party invitations, novelty packaging, and informal signage. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when you want an approachable, non-corporate tone.
The overall tone is cheerful and mischievous, like marker lettering used for jokes, kids’ materials, or playful signage. Its irregularities feel deliberate and personable, prioritizing charm and character over precision and neutrality.
The design appears intended to mimic casual hand lettering with controlled irregularity, delivering a distinctive, upbeat texture that stands out at display sizes. Its simplified shapes and rounded terminals suggest an aim for warmth and immediacy rather than typographic strictness.
The face maintains consistent stroke personality across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, but embraces variation in letter widths and spacing, which adds motion and informality in text. Round letters (O, Q, 8, 9) feel especially soft and inflated, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) lean into a hand-cut, cartoon energy.
