A chunky, hand-drawn print face with rounded terminals and softly uneven contours that suggest brush or marker strokes. Strokes are heavy and largely monoline, with subtle wobble and occasional ink swell that creates a lively, imperfect edge. Counters are compact and slightly irregular, and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet an energetic rhythm. The lowercase is simple and readable, with single-storey forms and straightforward construction; figures are similarly blunt and approachable with irregular curves and flat-ish ends.
Well suited to short, bold messaging such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where a friendly handmade texture is desirable. It also fits children’s materials, casual branding, event promotions, and social graphics that benefit from an approachable, crafted feel.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a kid-friendly, doodled quality that feels spontaneous rather than engineered. Its bouncy spacing and slightly inconsistent shapes add charm and personality, making the text feel conversational and handmade.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered signage with a consistent, sturdy stroke that stays legible while still looking human. Its simplified forms and soft terminals prioritize friendliness and impact over typographic formality.
At text sizes the weight produces strong color and high presence, while the irregular outlines and compact counters can make longer paragraphs feel dense. The face reads best when given comfortable tracking and line spacing, where its playful rhythm can breathe.
