A chunky hand-drawn print with rounded strokes and softly blunted terminals. The letterforms are built from simple, slightly uneven curves and straights, creating a bouncy rhythm and an intentionally imperfect baseline and spacing feel. Counters are open and generous (notably in O, P, R, a, e), while joins and bends have a marker-like smoothness. Capitals are tall and simple; lowercase forms are compact and mostly single-storey (a, g) with a short, sturdy look and clear dots on i and j.
Best suited for friendly display and short text in contexts like children’s materials, classroom worksheets, party invitations, playful posters, packaging for handmade or craft goods, and greeting cards. It holds up well at larger sizes where the rounded forms and lively rhythm become a feature rather than a distraction.
The font reads as approachable and lighthearted, with a kid-friendly, doodled energy. Its soft, rounded shapes and relaxed consistency give it a warm, conversational tone suited to informal messaging rather than formal typography.
Designed to mimic an easy, confident hand-printed marker style: bold enough to feel energetic and readable, but irregular enough to stay personable and human. The goal appears to be an informal, approachable voice for cheerful headlines and casual copy.
Distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic shapes—like the looped 8, the angled strokes of K and X, and the broad, rounded S—reinforce the handmade character. Numerals follow the same rounded, marker-drawn logic and maintain strong presence at display sizes.
