A casual, hand-drawn print style with thick, brush-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. The forms are slightly irregular with gentle wobble and visible stroke modulation, creating an organic rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Counters are open and rounded, ascenders tend to be tall, and spacing is intentionally uneven, giving the line a lively, drawn-on feel that stays consistently legible at display sizes.
Works best for short-to-medium text in contexts that benefit from an informal, personal voice—such as children’s materials, playful branding, product packaging, social graphics, event invitations, and poster headlines. It can also add warmth to pull quotes or section headers where a hand-rendered feel is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a kid-friendly, crafty warmth that feels informal and conversational. Its bouncy proportions and soft edges read as cheerful and human, suited to designs that want personality over precision.
Designed to emulate quick marker or brush lettering in a clean, unconnected print, prioritizing friendliness, spontaneity, and strong visibility. The controlled irregularities and rounded forms suggest an intention to feel authentically handmade while remaining readable.
Uppercase shapes are simplified and friendly, while lowercase letters lean toward single-storey, handwritten constructions with prominent dots on i and j. Numerals follow the same brushy logic, with rounded curves and slightly varied widths that reinforce the handmade character.
