A chunky, hand-drawn print style with rounded terminals and a soft, brush-like stroke that swells and tapers subtly. Letterforms are simplified and slightly irregular, with a lively baseline bounce and gently uneven counters that keep the texture human and spontaneous. Curves are full and blobby, joins are smooth rather than sharp, and proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating an energetic rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same loose, drawn construction and feel cohesive with the alphabet.
Best suited to display applications where a friendly, handmade voice is desired: posters, packaging, labels, café/menu callouts, kids-focused materials, and social or promotional graphics. It also works well for short headlines or emphasis text where its bouncy rhythm and heavy color can carry the message without needing fine detail.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, evoking casual notes, kid-friendly signage, and crafty handmade labeling. Its bold, rounded shapes read as warm and non-threatening, with an easygoing spontaneity that suggests quick marker or paint strokes rather than polished typography.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand lettering in a clean, unconnected print form, prioritizing warmth, legibility, and personality over strict geometric consistency. The slightly irregular construction and rounded brush shapes aim to make text feel informal and human, like a quick handwritten title or sign.
Capitals are broad and expressive, while the lowercase stays compact and simple, helping short words feel punchy and graphic. The texture remains consistent across the set, with deliberate imperfections and slight width fluctuations that add charm at display sizes.
