A rounded, hand-drawn print style with smooth, blobby terminals and a consistent heavy stroke. Curves are generously inflated and corners are softened, giving letters a pillow-like silhouette. Proportions are informal and slightly bouncy, with subtle irregularities in curves and joins that suggest marker or brush drawing rather than geometric construction. Counters tend to be compact, and characters like S, a, e, and g show simplified, single-storey forms with broad, friendly shapes.
Well suited to short, bold statements where friendliness is the priority—children’s and family-oriented branding, playful packaging, stickers, event flyers, and upbeat social media graphics. It also works for informal headlines and display text where a soft, hand-drawn tone is desirable.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a childlike warmth that feels conversational and lighthearted. Its soft, rounded forms read as non-intimidating and personable, making text feel welcoming and slightly whimsical.
Designed to deliver an approachable handwritten presence with high visual weight and rounded forms, emphasizing charm and readability over strict uniformity. The simplified shapes and soft terminals aim to create an inviting, fun display voice for casual communication.
The font maintains clear letterforms despite its playful distortion, and the numerals match the same inflated, rounded logic. The lowercase has an especially casual rhythm, with varied widths and a lively baseline feel that adds personality in short phrases.
