A compact, hand-drawn print style with thick, ink-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with slightly irregular curves and subtle stroke wobble that keeps the texture lively. Counters are small and often teardrop-shaped, and the overall spacing feels a bit uneven in an intentional, handmade way, reinforcing an informal rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short headlines and display text where a friendly, handmade tone is desired—such as kids-oriented materials, casual food or craft packaging, posters, and social media graphics. It can work for brief body copy at larger sizes, but the dense counters and narrow proportions are more effective when given room and size.
The font reads as approachable and lighthearted, with a playful, bouncy energy typical of casual marker or brush lettering. Its narrow, upright forms keep it neat enough to stay legible, while the organic inconsistencies add charm and personality.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand printing with a bold marker feel—prioritizing personality, warmth, and an energetic texture over strict geometric regularity.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-rendered logic, with simplified constructions and rounded joins. Numerals match the same chunky, drawn look, with friendly curves and compact proportions that sit comfortably alongside the letters in display settings.
