A hand-drawn print style with thick, rounded strokes and softly tapered terminals that suggest a marker or brush-pen. Letters sit upright with a lively, slightly irregular rhythm: curves are generous, joins are smooth, and counters are fairly open for the weight. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet an organic texture; capitals are simple and chunky while lowercase forms keep a compact body with tall, prominent ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same informal construction, with simplified shapes and friendly curves.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text where a warm, informal voice is desired—such as packaging, café menus, playful posters, social graphics, stickers, and brand accents. It works especially well at display sizes where the rounded stroke texture and handwritten rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like casual handwriting used for notes, labels, or kid-friendly messaging. Its bouncy spacing and softened shapes read as welcoming and humorous rather than formal or technical.
Designed to mimic friendly, everyday hand lettering with a bold, rounded marker feel. The goal appears to be quick readability paired with an informal personality, offering a consistent handwritten look without connecting script behavior.
Stroke endings tend to be blunt-rounded with occasional subtle flare, and several forms lean into simplified, sign-painter-like constructions (notably in curved letters and the single-storey lowercase shapes). The texture remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, prioritizing charm and character over strict geometric uniformity.
