A hand-drawn display face with narrow proportions, rounded terminals, and subtly uneven stroke behavior that mimics marker or brush lettering. Shapes mix soft curves with occasional flattened joins, and counters are generally compact, creating a dense, chunky color. Letterforms show intentional irregularities in width and curvature from glyph to glyph, with simplified geometry and minimal detailing. The lowercase reads compact with small bowls and a relatively short x-height, while ascenders and descenders provide much of the vertical rhythm.
Best suited to display use where its handmade texture can be appreciated: posters, packaging, café or retail signage, book covers, and playful editorial headings. It can also work for short UI labels or social graphics when a friendly, crafted voice is desired, but it’s less ideal for long-form text or very small sizes due to its compact counters and tight, narrow rhythm.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a slightly quirky, storybook energy. Its bouncy rhythm and rounded forms feel approachable and crafty rather than precise or corporate, lending a casual, handmade personality to headings and short phrases.
The design appears aimed at delivering a cheerful, hand-lettered look with consistent legibility, prioritizing personality and charm over strict typographic regularity. Its narrow stance and bold presence suggest it was built to stand out in titles while keeping a compact footprint.
Uppercase characters tend to be tall and narrow with open, airy interiors, while several lowercase forms lean more blob-like and compact, enhancing the handmade contrast between cases. Numerals follow the same drawn, slightly uneven logic and stay clear at larger sizes, though the dense counters and narrow fit can make longer passages feel tight.
