A rounded, hand-drawn sans with softly irregular contours and subtly roughened edges that mimic felt-tip or marker lettering. Strokes are generally even but wobble slightly, with occasional bulges and tapered joins that keep the rhythm lively. Counters are open and simple, terminals are blunt and rounded, and the baseline feels gently uneven, reinforcing a casual, drawn-by-hand texture. Uppercase forms are compact and friendly, while lowercase letters stay straightforward and legible with a lightly variable, human pace across the line.
Well suited to posters, headings, and short bursts of copy where a friendly, human voice is desired. It works naturally for playful branding, craft and DIY packaging, children-focused materials, event promos, and informal digital graphics where a touch of rough texture helps avoid a sterile feel.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, with a doodled, homemade charm that feels conversational rather than formal. Its imperfect ink texture and buoyant shapes suggest craft, classroom notes, and lighthearted messaging, adding personality without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable, readable hand-lettered style with a deliberately imperfect ink texture—capturing the energy of quick marker writing while maintaining enough consistency for repeated use in display and casual text.
Figures follow the same hand-rendered logic, with rounded, slightly wavy strokes that keep numerals cohesive with the alphabet. In text settings, the consistent rough outline produces a mild ‘printed by hand’ look that reads well at moderate sizes while clearly prioritizing character and warmth over precision.
