A chunky handwritten print with rounded terminals and softly irregular curves. Strokes are monoline in feel and fairly heavy, with gentle swelling from marker-like pressure but no sharp contrast. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating a bouncy rhythm and slightly uneven widths; bowls are generous and counters stay open for readability. The lowercase is simple and single-storey, with a tall ascender on d and straightforward, compact forms overall. Numerals are similarly rounded and informal, matching the letterforms’ soft geometry.
It works best for cheerful display uses such as children’s titles, playful posters, packaging, labels, and crafts-oriented branding. The sturdy strokes and open counters also suit short paragraphs in educational or casual contexts where an informal voice is desired.
The font reads as warm, approachable, and intentionally imperfect, like neat hand lettering made with a felt-tip marker. Its buoyant shapes and rounded corners give it a kid-friendly, lighthearted tone that feels conversational rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic friendly marker handwriting while staying legible and consistent enough for set text. Its rounded, heavy monoline construction aims for an inviting, approachable look that feels personal and fun.
Spacing appears comfortable and forgiving in text, with a lively baseline and small natural variations that reinforce the hand-drawn character. The capitals are clear and bold enough for short headings, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, doodle-like simplicity in continuous reading.
