A rounded, marker-like sans with chunky strokes and softly irregular outlines that suggest hand-drawn construction. Curves are generously inflated and terminals are blunt, producing a compact, “inked” silhouette. The baseline and stroke edges show subtle wobble and roughness, while counters stay open enough to keep forms readable. Overall spacing is moderately loose and the rhythm is lively rather than mechanically even.
Best suited to short display text where personality matters: posters, covers, packaging, labels, event graphics, and playful branding. It also works well for children’s materials and casual social content, but the heavy texture and irregularity may be less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The font conveys an informal, approachable tone with a tactile, handmade energy. Its slightly imperfect edges and bouncy proportions feel playful and nostalgic, lending a human, DIY character that avoids corporate polish.
The design appears intended to mimic thick hand lettering made with a marker or brush, combining simple geometric foundations with intentionally uneven contours for warmth and approachability.
Uppercase forms read as simplified and rounded, with occasional quirky details (like a lively tail on Q and angled joins on K/R). Numerals are similarly soft and stout, prioritizing charm over strict uniformity.
