A lively, hand-drawn print face with chunky strokes and softly tapered terminals that suggest a brush or marker. Letterforms lean on rounded bowls and slightly uneven curves, with irregular stroke edges and variable proportions that keep the rhythm organic. Counters are generally open and simplified, while ascenders and descenders are prominent, giving the lowercase a tall, bouncy profile. The overall texture is dark and confident, with compact interior spacing that reads best at moderate to larger sizes.
Well suited for display typography where a handcrafted voice is desired, such as posters, children’s or educational materials, packaging, menus, and event promotions. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads, but the dense, brushy texture makes it less ideal for long-form small text.
The tone is friendly and informal, with a storybook charm and a touch of mischievous energy. Its irregularities feel intentional and human, projecting warmth and approachability rather than precision or formality.
Designed to deliver an energetic, hand-rendered print look that feels personal and expressive, prioritizing character and immediacy over strict uniformity. The forms aim to mimic casual lettering while remaining consistent enough for headline and branding use.
Uppercase shapes are broad-shouldered and simplified, while the lowercase shows the strongest personality through looped descenders and slightly idiosyncratic joins. Numerals follow the same handmade logic, with rounded forms and occasional angled strokes that add momentum in running text.
