A casual, hand-drawn print style with thick, ink-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms lean slightly and show lively irregularity in stroke edges and curves, suggesting a marker or brush tip rather than a rigid pen. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with a bouncy baseline feel and uneven counters that reinforce the handmade rhythm. The overall texture is dense and dark, with simplified shapes that stay readable at display sizes.
Works best for short-form display typography such as posters, book covers, product packaging, café menus, labels, and social graphics where a personable, handmade voice is desired. It can also fit children’s materials and craft/DIY branding, especially when paired with simple supporting type for longer text.
The font communicates an upbeat, approachable tone with a quirky, homemade charm. Its imperfect outlines and energetic rhythm feel human and informal, lending a lighthearted character that suits playful messaging more than formal typography.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered marker/brush printing—prioritizing personality and visual warmth over geometric consistency. The forms aim to feel spontaneous and approachable, giving layouts a casual, human-made signature.
Capitals are tall and attention-grabbing, while lowercase maintains a straightforward printed structure rather than cursive connections. Numerals follow the same chunky, hand-inked logic, with a friendly, slightly cartoonish presence. Spacing appears organically inconsistent in a way that enhances the drawn aesthetic, but it can create a textured color in longer lines.
