A compact, hand-drawn print style with thick, rounded strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letters are condensed with a tall, narrow overall silhouette and slightly uneven widths that create a lively rhythm. Curves are smooth and inflated, counters are small-to-moderate, and corners are gently rounded rather than sharp. The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey forms and a relatively small x-height compared to the tall ascenders, while numerals follow the same narrow, padded construction.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where a friendly handmade impression is desired, such as posters, product packaging, café menus, labels, and children-focused materials. Its condensed build can be useful when you need a bold presence in tighter horizontal space, while still keeping an informal tone.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a whimsical, slightly retro feel that reads like careful marker lettering. Its narrow, bouncy proportions and rounded shapes give it an upbeat, informal voice suited to lighthearted messaging rather than formality.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive hand-lettered look with consistent, readable shapes—combining a narrow footprint with soft, rounded forms for cheerful, attention-getting display typography.
Stroke endings remain consistently soft throughout, which helps keep dark areas from looking harsh despite the heavy color. Spacing appears fairly even in running text, though the hand-drawn irregularities intentionally add character and a handmade cadence.
