A lively, hand-drawn print face with chunky, brush-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms show noticeable natural variation in stroke thickness and width, with a gently forward-leaning posture and slightly wobbly baselines that create a bouncy rhythm. Counters are compact and organic rather than geometric, and joins and curves feel painted, with occasional tapered starts/finishes. Spacing is open and forgiving, emphasizing an easy, readable texture at display sizes.
Best suited for short-form text such as posters, packaging callouts, social media graphics, titles, and pull quotes where a friendly handmade tone is desired. It also works well for children’s media, casual branding accents, and event materials, especially when set at medium to large sizes to preserve clarity and character.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a doodled, handmade character that feels spontaneous rather than polished. Its irregularities read as intentional personality, lending an energetic, informal voice that suits lighthearted messaging.
Designed to emulate quick marker or brush printing with a confident, hand-made cadence. The intent appears to prioritize warmth and personality over strict uniformity, offering a personable display voice for informal communication.
Uppercase shapes are broad and gestural, while lowercase forms stay simple and single-storey in feel, reinforcing the casual print handwriting. Numerals match the same brushy construction and irregular widths, keeping the set cohesive. The texture becomes more expressive as size increases, where stroke edges and subtle wobble contribute to its charm.
