A compact, hand-drawn print face with thick, low-contrast strokes and a narrow overall footprint. Letterforms are simplified and slightly irregular, with softly rounded corners and subtle brush-like tapering at terminals rather than sharp cuts. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; counters are small but generally open enough for short text. The lowercase is straightforward and legible, with a single-storey feel and minimal joins, while numerals follow the same chunky, informal construction.
It performs best in headings, short blurbs, and prominent callouts where its playful texture can be appreciated. Suitable for packaging, labels, posters, and kid-friendly or lifestyle branding; for longer passages, generous size and spacing help maintain clarity.
The font reads as warm and approachable, with a lighthearted handmade charm. Its uneven cadence and soft, inky shapes give it an informal, personable tone suited to friendly messaging rather than formal typography.
Designed to emulate an informal marker/brush print written quickly by hand, prioritizing personality and friendliness over strict geometric consistency. The goal appears to be a compact, high-impact handwritten look that stays readable in bold, attention-getting settings.
Round forms like O and Q appear slightly condensed with a narrow interior, and verticals dominate the silhouette, reinforcing the tall, compact color on the page. The sample text shows consistent texture at display sizes, where the intentional irregularities become a key part of its character.
