A chunky, hand-drawn print face with rounded terminals and softly irregular stroke edges that mimic marker or brush lettering. Letterforms are simple and open, with a lively, uneven rhythm created by small shifts in width, curvature, and stroke swelling. Counters tend to be compact and rounded, and many joins are slightly wobbly, giving the set an organic, cut-from-paper feel. Numerals and caps share the same thick, soft geometry, keeping the overall color dense and emphatic in text.
Best used at display sizes where the soft, hand-rendered texture can be appreciated—titles, posters, playful packaging, stickers, and social graphics. It also fits children’s materials, comics, and casual branding where warmth and approachability are priorities over formal precision.
The font projects an upbeat, approachable tone that feels informal and human. Its bouncy shapes and intentionally imperfect outlines read as cheerful and humorous rather than polished or corporate, making it well suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design intent appears to be a bold, friendly handwritten print that feels spontaneous and approachable, prioritizing character and warmth over strict typographic regularity. Its simplified, rounded constructions aim for quick readability while preserving a distinctly handmade voice.
Spacing appears fairly generous for a handwritten print, which helps maintain clarity despite the heavy, rounded forms. Distinctive single-storey lowercase shapes and simplified construction contribute to a childlike, doodled personality, while the consistent stroke mass keeps headlines visually cohesive.
