A rounded, marker-like handwritten print with thick, soft-ended strokes and minimal internal modulation. Letterforms are simplified and slightly irregular, with gentle wobble in verticals and curves that creates an organic rhythm. Counters are generally open and roomy, terminals are blunt, and joins are smooth, giving the alphabet a puffy silhouette. Proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, and spacing feels lively rather than strictly mechanical, while remaining consistently readable.
Works best for short-to-medium text where a friendly, informal voice is desired—such as children’s materials, playful branding, packaging callouts, posters, and social or classroom graphics. The thick strokes and open forms help it hold up well in larger sizes and in high-contrast, single-color applications.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a youthful, doodled personality that feels conversational and unpretentious. It conveys warmth and informality, leaning toward a fun, handmade look suitable for lighthearted messaging.
Designed to emulate an easygoing hand-printed marker style, prioritizing charm, immediacy, and legibility over strict geometric consistency. The subtle irregularities and soft terminals suggest a deliberate “drawn by hand” aesthetic meant to feel personal and approachable.
Uppercase shapes are broad and soft, with rounded corners and simplified structure; lowercase maintains the same chunky stroke character and friendly curvature. Numerals match the hand-drawn feel and remain clear at a glance, with rounded bowls and uncomplicated forms.
