A compact, handwritten print face with thick, brush-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright with gentle, human irregularities in curve tension and stroke endings, creating a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency. Counters tend to be small and somewhat pinched in places (notably in bowls and loops), while verticals stay sturdy and monolinear in feel despite subtle pressure variation. Proportions are tight and slightly condensed, with simple, unconnected shapes and a comfortably uneven baseline that reads as intentionally hand-drawn.
Best suited to short to medium-length text where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, playful branding, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also work for labels and headings in educational or craft-oriented contexts, where the bold strokes help it hold up at small-to-moderate sizes.
The font conveys an approachable, informal tone—cheerful and personable, like marker lettering for a note, label, or classroom sign. Its soft curves and slightly quirky forms give it a warm, kid-friendly character without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, confident marker or brush printing: bold enough to be attention-getting, simple enough to stay readable, and irregular enough to feel personal and human rather than mechanical.
Distinctive details include teardrop-like bowls in some lowercase letters, single-storey constructions, and a simple, rounded numeral set that matches the casual brush texture. Spacing appears intentionally loose enough for readability in short lines while preserving a hand-lettered bounce in longer text.
