A compact, hand-drawn print with thick, brush-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms lean toward simplified, monoline-like construction with subtle stroke swelling, creating a lively, slightly uneven rhythm typical of marker lettering. Counters are open and generous, curves are full, and joins feel organic rather than mechanical; widths vary by character, adding to the natural handwritten cadence. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, rounded construction, holding up well at larger sizes.
Well suited to short headlines, posters, product packaging, and social media graphics where a friendly handmade voice is desired. It also fits children’s materials, crafts, and casual branding applications; for longer text, it works best in brief blocks or pull quotes at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a spontaneous, doodled energy that reads as personal and informal. Its chunky strokes and rounded shapes give it a warm, kid-friendly feel without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to emulate quick marker/brush printing with confident, rounded strokes and an intentionally imperfect, human rhythm. The aim appears to be a personable display hand that stays legible while delivering an energetic, informal character.
Distinctive, simplified shapes (notably in several capitals and the single-storey lowercase forms) prioritize personality over typographic neutrality, so spacing and texture feel intentionally irregular in a natural, handwritten way. The heavy strokes produce strong color on the page, making the font best appreciated when it has room to breathe.
