A rounded, hand-drawn print style with thick, even strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letterforms are simple and open, with gently irregular curves and a bouncy baseline rhythm that keeps the texture lively without becoming messy. Capitals are tall and slightly condensed with narrow counters, while the lowercase stays compact with modest ascenders and descenders; bowls and shoulders lean toward circular, inflated shapes. Numerals match the same chunky, marker-like construction, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and playful messaging where a friendly, handmade tone is desired—such as children’s materials, casual packaging, crafts, and event or café-style signage. It can work for brief text blocks in larger sizes, where the rounded counters and even color keep reading comfortable.
The overall tone is approachable and lighthearted, with a storybook informality that feels personable and warm. Its slight wobble and soft shapes suggest an easygoing, conversational voice rather than a strict geometric or formal one.
Designed to mimic a confident marker or felt-tip print: cheerful, sturdy, and readable, with just enough hand-drawn variation to feel personal. The emphasis appears to be on quick recognition and an inviting personality for informal display typography.
Stroke joins are smooth and rounded, and the spacing feels deliberately loose enough to maintain clarity despite the heavy strokes. The forms keep consistent construction across the set, balancing hand-made character with dependable legibility in short lines.
