A compact, hand-drawn print style with thick, rounded strokes and softly uneven edges that mimic marker or brush lettering. Forms are narrow and vertical, with a lively, slightly wobbly baseline and inconsistent stroke endings that create an organic rhythm. Counters are small and irregular, curves are generously bulbous, and joins often taper or swell subtly, reinforcing the made-by-hand feel. Overall proportions stay consistent while individual letters vary in width and shape, giving the alphabet a personable, imperfect texture.
Works best for short, high-impact text where texture and charm are assets—posters, playful packaging, labels, children’s materials, comics-style captions, and casual branding accents. It also suits social graphics and invitations that benefit from a friendly handmade look, especially at medium to large sizes where the irregularities read clearly.
The font reads as playful and approachable, with a quirky, cartoon-leaning voice. Its narrow, chunky shapes and bouncy rhythm suggest spontaneity and humor rather than formality. The overall tone feels friendly and craft-like, suitable for informal, characterful messaging.
Designed to capture an informal hand-drawn print voice with narrow, bold shapes and intentionally irregular edges. The goal appears to be approachable display typography that feels spontaneous and human, adding warmth and humor to headlines and short statements.
Letterforms prioritize personality over precision: terminals can look slightly smeared or pinched, and round letters show intentionally uneven bowls. Uppercase has a tall, simple structure, while lowercase maintains a compact feel with straightforward, handwritten constructions. Numerals share the same soft, blobby geometry, keeping texture consistent across mixed content.
