A rounded, marker-like handwritten print with a forward slant and chunky, low-contrast strokes. Forms are built from smooth, swelling curves and tapered joins, with soft, blunted terminals that keep the texture friendly rather than sharp. Letter widths vary noticeably, giving lines an irregular, lively rhythm; counters are generally open and simplified, and strokes lean toward single-pass construction rather than formal pen logic. Lowercase shows compact proportions and a relatively small x-height, while ascenders and descenders add bounce and motion across a line.
Works best for short to medium-length settings where personality matters more than typographic neutrality, such as posters, packaging, invitations, classroom materials, and social graphics. It can also function for cheerful subheads or pull quotes, especially at sizes large enough to let the rounded details read clearly.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, with a warm, approachable voice that feels like quick hand lettering on a poster or note. Its slightly exaggerated curves and jaunty slant create a cheerful, energetic impression suited to lighthearted messages.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with a soft brush/marker feel, prioritizing friendliness and visual momentum. The variable widths and playful proportions suggest an intention to add charm and spontaneity to display text while staying readable.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and uneven in a hand-drawn way, contributing to an animated texture in paragraphs. The numerals share the same rounded, brushy construction, reinforcing consistency between text and display use.
