A lively, hand-drawn print face with thick, brush-like strokes and softly irregular contours. Letterforms are rounded and slightly bouncy, with uneven stroke endings and subtle wobble that keeps the texture human and expressive. Counters tend to be compact and irregular, and spacing varies from glyph to glyph, creating an animated rhythm. Uppercase shapes are simple and sturdy, while lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions with a casual, marker-written feel; numerals match the same chunky, handmade proportions.
Works best for display situations such as posters, playful branding, packaging, invitations, and social graphics where a friendly, handmade voice is desired. It can also serve as an accent for short phrases, labels, or callouts, especially when paired with a more neutral text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a kid-friendly, crafty energy that reads as spontaneous rather than polished. Its bold, rounded presence feels warm and humorous, suited to messages meant to sound informal and upbeat.
Designed to emulate confident marker or brush lettering in an unconnected, print style, prioritizing personality and immediacy over typographic precision. The intent appears to be a bold, approachable handwritten look that brings warmth and informality to titles and emphasis text.
The heavy stroke weight and tight internal spaces can reduce clarity at very small sizes, but the strong silhouettes hold up well in short bursts of text. The irregular stroke terminals and slight variations in widths are prominent stylistic features and are best treated as part of the font’s charm rather than something to neutralize with tight tracking.
