A heavy, brush-like handwritten print with rounded terminals and softly swollen strokes that mimic a felt-tip or paint marker. Letters lean gently to the right and show lively, hand-drawn irregularity, with subtly uneven stroke edges and widths that vary slightly from glyph to glyph. Counters are compact and often teardrop-shaped, and the overall texture is dense and dark while remaining open enough for headline use. Forms are simplified and smooth, favoring broad curves and short, sturdy joins over sharp corners.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, playful branding, packaging accents, stickers, and social graphics. It also works well for children’s materials and friendly signage where warmth and immediacy matter more than formal precision; for longer text, it performs best at larger sizes due to its dense weight and compact counters.
The font reads upbeat and approachable, with a spontaneous, doodled energy that feels informal and welcoming. Its chunky, rounded shapes give it a humorous, kid-friendly tone, while the steady forward slant adds motion and enthusiasm.
Designed to capture the look of bold, quick hand-lettering with a marker, prioritizing personality and impact over geometric uniformity. The intention appears to be a fun display voice that feels personal, energetic, and easy to read at headline sizes.
Spacing and letterfit appear deliberately loose and organic, reinforcing the hand-rendered rhythm. The numerals share the same rounded, marker-drawn construction, supporting consistent use across casual display settings.
