A rounded, marker-like handprint with thick, monoline strokes and soft, blunted terminals. The forms are intentionally irregular: bowls wobble slightly, counters vary, and curves dominate over straight geometry. Letters lean subtly backward and sit on a gently uneven baseline, giving the alphabet a buoyant rhythm. Proportions are loose and personable, with generous curves and compact joins that keep the texture dense and bold at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—such as children’s materials, playful branding, packaging callouts, event posters, and informal social or editorial graphics. It can work in brief UI labels or captions when a casual tone is appropriate, but the heavy stroke and lively irregularity favor larger sizes.
The font feels cheerful and approachable, like quick hand-lettering on posters, classroom materials, or craft packaging. Its imperfect contours and springy spacing add humor and warmth, prioritizing personality over precision.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand printing with a soft marker feel—prioritizing charm, approachability, and an energetic, slightly mischievous rhythm.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent hand-drawn logic, with simplified shapes and rounded corners throughout. Numerals follow the same chunky, informal style, maintaining an even color in running text despite the natural variation between glyphs.
