A chunky, hand-drawn print face with compact proportions and softly rounded corners. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with subtle wobble and pressure-like irregularities that create a textured edge. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and terminals look blunted rather than sharply cut, reinforcing the drawn, marker-like construction. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving lines of text a lively, slightly bouncy rhythm while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its bold, handmade texture can be appreciated—posters, packaging callouts, labels, kids or hobby-themed materials, and energetic social graphics. It can work for brief sentences or captions when set with generous tracking and line spacing, but the heavy texture is most comfortable in larger sizes.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a scrappy DIY character that feels informal and human. Its irregularities read as intentional and expressive, suggesting spontaneity and a lighthearted, handcrafted attitude rather than precision or formality.
Designed to capture the look of quickly drawn, unconnected lettering—confident, imperfect, and attention-grabbing. The goal appears to be strong visual personality and a handcrafted feel while keeping straightforward readability for casual display typography.
The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey structures (notably in a, g) and minimal detailing, which keeps the texture consistent across the set. Numerals share the same soft, slightly lumpy silhouettes, helping mixed text feel cohesive. The color on the page is strong and dense, with a pleasantly rough outline that can act as a stylistic feature in headings.
