A heavy, rounded handwritten print with a right-leaning slant and softly swelling strokes. Letterforms are built from broad, brushy shapes with low internal detail, producing generous counters in rounds and tight joins in multi-stroke letters. Terminals are blunted and slightly uneven, with small variations in stroke edge and width that create a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Overall spacing feels open and buoyant, while individual forms show intentional wobble and variable silhouettes for an organic texture.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, short phrases, posters, and packaging where its chunky strokes and playful slant can stand out. It also fits children’s materials, invitations, greeting cards, and casual branding that benefits from a friendly, hand-lettered tone.
The font reads warm and approachable, with a cheerful, slightly goofy energy. Its bouncy rhythm and soft, inflated shapes suggest an informal, personable voice suited to lighthearted messaging. The consistent slant adds motion and spontaneity without becoming messy.
Likely designed to emulate quick, confident marker or brush lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing charm and personality over strict geometric consistency. The bold, rounded construction aims for high impact and readability while maintaining an informal, human feel.
Capitals are simple and friendly rather than formal, and the numerals keep the same soft, brushlike construction for a cohesive set. Round letters (O, Q, e, o) appear especially full and smooth, while letters like m, n, w, and k show more pronounced hand pressure and uneven joins, reinforcing the handmade character.
