A compact, hand-drawn print face with tall ascenders/descenders and a notably small x-height. Strokes show brush-pen behavior: dark, weighty verticals paired with thinner joins and tapered terminals, producing an uneven but controlled rhythm. Counters are tight and often teardrop-like, with softly rounded corners and slightly irregular curves that keep the forms lively. Widths vary from glyph to glyph, and spacing feels naturally inconsistent in a way that reinforces a written, not constructed, texture.
Best suited to display sizes where the brush contrast and quirky details can be appreciated—posters, playful branding, packaging, menu headers, invitations, and short pull quotes. It can work for brief text in friendly contexts, but the tight counters and small x-height make it more comfortable as a headline or accent face than for dense reading.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a whimsical bounce that reads like a confident marker or brush note. Its slightly retro, cartoon-leaning shapes suggest warmth and approachability rather than precision or restraint.
The design appears intended to mimic an informal brush/marker print style while keeping letterforms legible and consistent enough for repeated use. Its proportions and lively modulation aim to deliver personality and warmth in compact headline settings.
Capital forms are narrow and tall, while lowercase letters introduce more idiosyncratic gestures (notably in the curved and looped shapes), increasing the handmade flavor in running text. Numerals follow the same brushy contrast with rounded, friendly silhouettes, and the set maintains a consistent dark color on the page despite the varied stroke modulation.
