A chunky, rounded hand-drawn print with smooth, blobby strokes and softened corners throughout. The letterforms show gentle irregularities in contour and width, giving an organic rhythm while staying highly legible. Counters are generally open and simple, terminals are mostly rounded, and curves dominate over sharp joins; overall proportions feel compact with a relatively small lowercase body and lively, uneven sidebearings.
Well suited to headlines, short blurbs, and display copy where warmth and personality are desired—such as children’s materials, casual food or craft packaging, event posters, and greeting card work. It performs best at medium to large sizes where the rounded detailing and uneven rhythm can read as an intentional hand-drawn texture.
The tone is lighthearted and approachable, with a crafty, doodled energy that reads as informal and human. Its buoyant shapes and slightly wobbly consistency make it feel conversational and fun rather than polished or authoritative.
Likely designed to capture the look of thick marker or brush-pen lettering in a clean, readable print style. The intent appears to balance charm and spontaneity with straightforward shapes that stay clear across mixed-case text and numerals.
Capitals are sturdy and simplified, while lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions and playful silhouettes that maintain clarity at larger sizes. Numerals match the same soft, hand-inked feel, with rounded bowls and an intentionally imperfect baseline alignment that reinforces the handmade character.
