A rounded, hand-drawn display face with softly swelling strokes and irregular, ink-like terminals. Curves are generous and slightly lopsided, with subtle wobble in verticals and bowls that creates a lively rhythm across words. Forms stay largely open and readable, while details like teardrop ends, uneven joins, and gently varying proportions give the alphabet a crafted, one-off feel. Numerals and capitals share the same blunted, brushy finish, reinforcing a cohesive, informal texture in text.
Well suited for display settings where a friendly, handmade voice is desirable—posters, packaging, kids’ and hobby-focused branding, event materials, and book or chapter titles. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) where personality matters more than a neutral tone.
The overall tone is playful and slightly mischievous, like lettering for a children’s title or a whimsical craft label. Its irregularity reads as human and approachable rather than polished or corporate, adding personality and charm to short phrases.
Designed to mimic casual hand lettering with rounded, inked ends and deliberate irregularities, aiming for charm and distinctiveness over strict typographic refinement. The consistent softness and wobble suggest an intent to feel approachable, fun, and slightly offbeat in display contexts.
The font’s character comes from consistent soft rounding and terminal shapes rather than sharp contrast or strict geometry. Spacing appears comfortable for display use, and the varied silhouettes (notably in letters with bowls and diagonals) create a bouncy word shape that draws attention.
