A rounded, marker-like print hand with thick, softly swollen strokes and minimal contrast. Terminals are blunted and slightly irregular, giving letters a drawn, organic edge rather than a geometric finish. Proportions are lively and uneven: bowls run generous, counters stay open, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a bouncy rhythm. Lowercase forms are simple and compact with short extenders, while the overall set keeps a consistent heavy stroke that reads clearly at display sizes.
Well-suited to headings and short copy where a friendly, handmade voice is desirable—such as children’s materials, playful branding, product packaging, stickers, and casual posters. It can also work for social media graphics and event signage where legibility and personality are both important.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a lighthearted, doodled character that feels informal and human. Its gentle wobble and soft corners evoke classroom notes, craft labels, and cheerful signage rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to capture the look of bold hand lettering made with a felt-tip marker—clear, upbeat, and intentionally imperfect for an approachable, everyday feel.
Capitals and lowercase share a unified, hand-drawn logic, with intentionally imperfect curves and occasional asymmetry that adds personality. Numerals match the same rounded, chunky construction, supporting a cohesive look across mixed content.
