A compact, hand-drawn display face with thick, even strokes and gently irregular proportions. Letterforms are mostly upright with rounded shoulders, soft terminals, and subtle swelling that keeps the texture lively without true contrast. Counters are small to medium and often slightly pinched, while curves (C, S, O) feel molded rather than geometric. The lowercase has a notably small x-height with tall ascenders and deep, rounded descenders, giving lines a vertical, bouncy rhythm; spacing is moderately tight and the widths vary from letter to letter in a natural, written way.
Best suited for short-to-medium text at display sizes where its compact, hand-drawn rhythm can add personality—headlines, posters, packaging, menus, and brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in playful editorial layouts, especially where a friendly, crafted voice is desired.
The overall tone is friendly and mischievous, like hand-lettering for children’s media or a cozy café chalkboard—informal, warm, and a little quirky. Its rounded shapes and uneven cadence read as personable and human rather than technical or corporate.
Designed to emulate informal print handwriting with a cohesive, rounded silhouette and slightly irregular widths for charm. The emphasis appears to be on approachable readability and characterful texture in display contexts rather than strict typographic precision for long-form text.
The uppercase set feels display-oriented with simplified construction and soft, curved joins, while the lowercase carries more of the handwriting character (notably in a, g, y, and the dotted i/j). Numerals are sturdy and rounded, matching the same casual, hand-formed logic and staying legible at larger sizes.
