A compact, hand-drawn print face with thick, brush-like strokes and gently rounded terminals. The letters show a consistent slight rightward slant and a lively, uneven rhythm, with subtle stroke swelling that mimics marker pressure. Proportions are narrow overall, with tall ascenders and a comparatively small x-height, giving the lowercase a tight, vertical feel. Counters are modest and softly shaped, and curves and joins stay smooth rather than angular, maintaining a cohesive, casual texture across text.
Works best in display sizes where its hand-drawn texture and narrow, vertical proportions can add personality—such as posters, packaging, social graphics, and playful branding. It also suits short UI labels or accents when you want an informal, human touch without connecting script behavior.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a homemade energy that feels personal rather than polished. Its bouncy rhythm and soft shapes read as cheerful and informal, lending warmth and character to short phrases and headlines.
The design appears intended to emulate quick marker lettering: confident, slightly irregular strokes with a consistent slant and compact spacing. It prioritizes charm and immediacy over geometric precision, aiming for a friendly, approachable voice in everyday display typography.
Uppercase forms are simplified and monoline-like in construction despite the brushy weight, helping the set feel cohesive and easy to scan. Numerals share the same hand-rendered wobble and rounded finishing, matching the overall friendly texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
