A rounded, hand-drawn print style with thick, softly tapered strokes and generously rounded corners throughout. Letterforms lean on simple geometric shapes—open counters, circular bowls, and blunt, pill-like terminals—creating a smooth, high-ink silhouette. Proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, with subtly uneven curves and spacing that preserve a natural marker-drawn rhythm. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with single-storey forms (notably a and g), while capitals are wide and simplified with an even, steady baseline presence. Numerals follow the same informal construction, with curved joins and friendly, open shapes.
Works well for children’s titles, playful packaging, casual signage, classroom materials, and friendly brand identities. It’s especially effective in short headlines, labels, and social graphics where the rounded, hand-made feel can carry the tone. For longer passages, it’s best used at comfortable sizes where the soft, chunky shapes remain clear.
The font reads warm and upbeat, with a relaxed, conversational tone. Its rounded, bouncy forms feel welcoming and lightly whimsical, suggesting a handcrafted personality that’s more playful than formal. The overall impression is cheerful and accessible, suited to messages meant to feel personal and easygoing.
Designed to emulate an informal, hand-printed marker look with a soft, rounded build and a consistent, friendly texture. The aim appears to be a charming, approachable display face that keeps legibility while preserving the small irregularities that signal “drawn by hand.”
Stroke endings often finish in soft nubs rather than sharp cuts, reinforcing a marker/brush impression. Curves dominate over straight segments, and diagonal strokes (like in K, V, W, X) maintain the same cushioned weight and rounding, which keeps the texture consistent in blocks of text. The sample text shows an even color at larger sizes, with the natural irregularities adding charm rather than distraction.
