A chunky, brush-drawn sans with rounded forms and visibly irregular edges that read like dry-brush or marker strokes. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, with slight wobble and uneven terminals that create a textured silhouette. Counters are open and generously sized, and curves are soft rather than geometric, while widths vary from glyph to glyph for an organic rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent informal construction, and the numerals match the same blunt, hand-rendered structure.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, short bursts of copy, packaging, and promotional graphics where a friendly handmade voice is desired. It also works nicely for kids-oriented materials, craft branding, café signage, and social graphics that benefit from a casual, tactile look.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a lively, imperfect finish that feels human and spontaneous. Its slightly rugged edges add a crafty, DIY energy, making it feel more playful than polished.
Likely designed to simulate hand-painted or marker-lettered print with bold, legible shapes while preserving natural imperfections. The goal appears to be an informal display face that feels personal and energetic rather than mechanically precise.
The face has strong presence and holds its shape well at display sizes, where the rough contours and varied character widths become a defining feature. In longer settings the irregularities add personality and motion, though the busy edges can start to dominate at smaller sizes.
