A chunky, rounded display face with hand-drawn construction and deliberately uneven contours. Strokes show subtle waviness and roughened interior/edge texture, as if made with a marker or brush and then imperfectly printed. Terminals are mostly blunt and softly curved, counters are open and irregular, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a bouncy rhythm across lines. Uppercase forms are simple and sturdy; lowercase is similarly simplified with a friendly, informal structure and slightly inconsistent stroke behavior.
Works best for short, attention-getting text such as posters, headlines, playful packaging, event flyers, and craft-focused branding. It can also suit children’s materials or casual signage where an informal, handmade look is desired; for long passages, the texture and variable widths may feel visually busy.
The overall tone is lighthearted and approachable, with a craft-like, slightly scruffy charm. Its irregularities read as intentional and human, giving text a warm, playful energy that feels relaxed rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-lettered marker/brush forms with a lightly worn or imperfectly printed finish. By combining rounded, friendly shapes with controlled irregularity, it aims to add personality and an authentic DIY texture to display typography.
The distressed texture and uneven outlines become more apparent at larger sizes, where the internal scuffs and stroke wobble contribute to the character. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, with rounded silhouettes and minor inconsistencies that reinforce the homemade feel.
