A chunky, marker-like print hand with softly rounded terminals and an overall rightward slant. Strokes are weighty and fairly even, with subtle pressure wobble that keeps edges organic rather than mechanical. Counters tend to be small and forms are slightly condensed, giving words a compact, energetic rhythm. Spacing and proportions vary naturally from letter to letter, reinforcing the hand-drawn feel while maintaining clear, legible silhouettes at display sizes.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, packaging fronts, labels, social graphics, and playful headlines. The heavy strokes and compact forms help it hold up in small blocks of text, but its strongest performance is in display settings where the handmade texture can be appreciated.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, like quick handwritten signage or a bold note made with a felt-tip pen. Its lively rhythm and imperfect edges read as personable and informal, lending warmth and humor to short messages.
Likely drawn to capture the immediacy of a bold handwritten marker style—fast, friendly, and attention-grabbing—while staying clear enough for everyday display typography.
Capitals are simple and poster-like, while the lowercase has a bouncier baseline and more characterful joins and loops, creating a pleasing mixed-case texture. Numerals match the same thick, rounded construction and remain highly readable, making the set feel consistent across headings and short callouts.
