A monoline, hand-drawn print face with rounded terminals and a slightly wobbly stroke that creates an informal, sketched rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with open, simplified counters and a generally narrow stance in the capitals. Several forms lean toward geometric simplicity (notably O/0 and rounded bowls), while others show intentionally uneven curves and joins that emphasize the handmade construction. Figures are simple and airy, with smooth curves in 2/3/5/6/9 and a clear, single-storey style in the lowercase set.
Works best for short, expressive text such as posters, packaging accents, children’s materials, and playful branding. It’s especially effective in headlines, captions, labels, and display settings where the hand-drawn personality can be a feature rather than a distraction.
The overall tone is lighthearted and approachable, with a quirky, cartoon-like charm. Its unevenness reads as personable and human rather than precise, giving text an easy, friendly voice suited to informal messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic an easy marker or felt-tip doodle: simple construction, rounded forms, and intentionally imperfect curves that prioritize friendliness and character over typographic precision.
Uppercase and lowercase feel stylistically related but not rigidly harmonized, reinforcing the casual, drawn-by-hand character. The font favors rounded shapes and soft corners over sharp angles, which helps maintain a gentle texture even at larger sizes.
