A lively hand-drawn print face with thick, brush-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms show gentle rightward slant and a bouncy baseline, with noticeable variation in stroke width and shape from glyph to glyph that reinforces an organic, marker/paint feel. Counters are small and irregular, joins are often bulbous, and curves feel slightly inflated, giving the overall texture a dense, inky color. Proportions are compact with relatively short lowercase bodies and prominent, expressive ascenders and descenders, while spacing remains open enough to keep words readable at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the brushy texture and bouncy rhythm can be appreciated—posters, café menus, product packaging, social graphics, and informal headlines. It also works well for playful branding and kid-oriented materials, while long passages at small sizes may feel heavy due to the dense stroke weight and irregular counters.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, like quick hand-lettering for a note, menu board, or craft label. Its uneven rhythm and soft, rounded forms add personality and warmth, leaning toward fun and informal rather than refined or technical.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident marker lettering with a friendly, imperfect charm. The emphasis appears to be on personality and spontaneity—prioritizing expressive shapes and a bold handwritten texture over strict geometric consistency.
Distinctive quirks—such as an open, looped “g”, a tall looped “f”, and a playful, simplified “Q”—help the font feel unmistakably handmade. Numerals are similarly chunky and irregular, matching the letter texture and keeping a consistent, casual voice across the set.
