A chunky, hand-drawn print with rounded terminals and softly irregular strokes that mimic marker lettering. Letterforms are mostly upright with a gentle wobble in verticals and curves, producing an even, low-contrast color on the page. Counters are open and simplified, joins are smooth, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal rhythm. The uppercase set is tall and narrow with compact bowls, while the lowercase is compact with short ascenders/descenders and simple, single-storey constructions.
Works best for short to medium-length copy where personality matters: children’s materials, playful posters and flyers, product packaging, stickers, social graphics, and casual branding headlines. It can also serve as a display face for captions or callouts where a friendly, handmade feel is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a lightly goofy, doodled character that feels friendly rather than polished. Its bouncy spacing and softened shapes give it a kid-friendly, conversational voice suited to informal messaging.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered marker print—clean enough to be readable, but irregular enough to feel personal and fun. Its simplified forms and rounded finishing prioritize warmth and charm over strict typographic precision.
The numerals and capitals share the same rounded, marker-like finishing, helping headings and mixed-case lines feel consistent. The texture stays fairly uniform across longer text, but the intentional irregularity reads as expressive rather than strictly geometric.
