A rounded, hand-drawn italic with smooth, monoline strokes and generously open counters. Forms lean forward with a bouncy baseline rhythm and slightly irregular widths that feel intentionally human rather than geometric. Terminals are soft and bulb-like, curves are broad and continuous, and joins stay clean without connecting letters. The overall silhouette is compact and legible, with simple, single-storey lowercase shapes and even stroke color across words.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display copy where friendliness matters: packaging, café or boutique signage, posters, invitations, and social media graphics. It also works for educational or kid-oriented materials thanks to its clear, rounded shapes, while remaining best at larger sizes where the hand-drawn details can be appreciated.
The font conveys an upbeat, approachable tone with a lighthearted, conversational energy. Its gentle wobble and soft corners read as personable and informal, suggesting spontaneity and warmth rather than precision or authority.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident marker or brush lettering in a tidy, repeatable way—capturing handmade charm while maintaining consistent proportions for readable, everyday display use.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent brush-pen logic, with a few playful idiosyncrasies (notably rounded hooks and looped descenders) that add character in headlines. Numerals match the same soft, rounded construction, keeping the texture cohesive in mixed alphanumeric settings.
