A rounded, monoline display face with soft, swollen strokes and subtly irregular outlines that mimic hand-drawn marker or brush lettering. Curves dominate, corners are heavily softened, and many terminals end in gentle blobs rather than crisp cuts. Proportions are intentionally inconsistent—some letters lean wider or narrower, counters vary in size, and the overall rhythm feels wavy and organic while remaining clearly legible. Numerals follow the same casual construction with simple, open shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where personality matters more than typographic restraint—children’s products, playful packaging, event posters, social graphics, and attention-grabbing headlines. It can also work for casual signage or labels when a friendly, humorous voice is desired.
The font reads as lighthearted and mischievous, with a warm, approachable tone. Its imperfect contours and buoyant spacing give it a spontaneous, doodled personality suited to upbeat, informal messaging.
Designed to communicate informality and charm through exaggerated rounding and controlled irregularity, creating a distinctive, one-off look that feels hand-made while staying readable in common headline sizes.
Uppercase forms are simple and cartoonish, while lowercase letters keep a single-storey feel (notably in a and g) that reinforces the handwritten character. Round letters like O and Q are generously open, and the overall texture stays even and dark thanks to the steady stroke weight despite the intentional wobble.
