A chunky, hand-drawn sans with rounded contours and softly blunted stroke endings. Letterforms show gentle irregularities in stroke thickness and curvature, giving a brushed/marker feel without sharp angles. Proportions are open and generously spaced, with a notably tall x-height and compact ascenders/descenders that keep lowercase forms sturdy and legible. Capitals are simple and broad, and the figures are similarly rounded, maintaining a consistent, informal rhythm across the set.
Well suited to playful headlines and short bursts of text in posters, children’s materials, casual packaging, stickers, and social media graphics where a friendly handmade tone is desired. It can also work for simple signage or event collateral when you want an informal, welcoming voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a childlike, doodled energy that feels conversational rather than polished. Its rounded shapes and slightly wobbly consistency communicate warmth and humor, suggesting handmade personality and lightheartedness.
Designed to emulate quick marker or brush lettering with simplified, rounded construction and a consistent, readable silhouette. The intent appears to balance bold presence with an easygoing, hand-drawn charm for attention-grabbing display use.
The font’s texture comes from subtle stroke wobble and uneven joins rather than heavy contrast, which helps it read well at larger sizes while still feeling distinctly hand-rendered. Curves dominate the construction, and diagonals are softened, reinforcing the friendly, non-technical character.
