A hand-drawn print face with thick, marker-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. The lettering shows gentle wobble and pressure variation in the outlines rather than true contrast, giving it an organic, made-by-hand rhythm. Proportions are compact and tall-leaning, with simple bowls and open counters; curves are slightly irregular and joins are intentionally unpolished. Spacing is loose and airy, helping the dense strokes stay readable in short lines of text.
Works best for display and short to medium text where a friendly handmade voice is desired: posters, labels, packaging, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also suit children’s or craft-oriented branding and informal editorial callouts, especially when paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lively, doodled energy that feels spontaneous and personable. Its unevenness reads as human and conversational rather than formal or technical, making it well suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a felt-tip or marker—prioritizing personality and immediacy over geometric precision. Its consistent stroke weight and relaxed construction aim to deliver an informal, approachable look that feels custom and human.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent drawn texture, with occasional idiosyncratic shapes that add character (notably in the more angular letters and the numerals). The numerals follow the same casual construction and remain clear at display sizes, while smaller sizes may emphasize the rough edges and stroke wobble.
