A chunky, hand-drawn print style with rounded terminals and softly tapered joins that mimic marker or brush pressure. Strokes are consistently heavy and smooth, with slight wobble and small asymmetries that keep the texture organic rather than geometric. Counters are compact and open enough for clarity, while the overall proportions stay relatively narrow with uneven character widths. The lowercase has simple, single-storey forms and short, rounded extenders; numerals are equally blunt and friendly, with straightforward, highly legible shapes.
Well-suited for short to medium-length copy where a friendly, handmade personality is desirable—children’s materials, playful branding, labels and packaging, event flyers, and casual social graphics. It works especially well for headlines, callouts, and display settings where its rounded weight and lively rhythm can carry the message.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and lightly goofy, like casual hand lettering on a poster or classroom sign. Its rounded shapes and intentional imperfections give it an upbeat, informal voice that feels conversational and kid-friendly without becoming messy.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered print in a clean, consistent digital form—prioritizing approachability, charm, and quick readability over strict typographic precision.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent stroke feel, but the rhythm is intentionally irregular, creating a lively texture in text. The font reads best with a bit of breathing room; in longer lines it produces a distinctive bouncy pattern that emphasizes the hand-made character.
