A lively handwritten print with slightly uneven stroke edges and noticeable contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting curves. Letterforms are upright overall but lean subtly backward, with buoyant baselines and varied sidebearings that create an intentionally irregular rhythm. Shapes tend toward rounded terminals and softly squared corners, mixing compact bowls with occasional tall ascenders/descenders and a generally open, legible structure. Capitals are bold and simple, while lowercase introduces more personality through looped descenders and varied proportions.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and cover titles where a playful handwritten voice is desirable. It can also work for short quotes, invitations, and greeting-card copy, especially when paired with a quieter companion typeface for longer reading.
The font feels informal and upbeat, with a sketchbook spontaneity that reads as human and approachable rather than polished. Its backward-leaning stance and bouncy spacing add a whimsical, slightly offbeat tone that suits lighthearted messaging.
Designed to capture an informal marker/pen feel with consistent recognizability while preserving the natural variation and bounce of hand lettering. The goal appears to be high personality and friendliness, delivering a bold handwritten presence that remains readable in typical display sizes.
Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with simplified forms and mild width variation that can add charm but also a lively texture in longer strings. The overall color on the page is strong and dark, making it effective for short bursts where character is more important than strict uniformity.
