A lively, hand-drawn contrasted sans with rounded terminals and an inked, brush-pen feel. Strokes swing between thick, teardrop-like downstrokes and thin, quick connecting strokes, creating an energetic rhythm and uneven color across words. Curves are generous and slightly irregular, with simplified, open forms and a consistently informal construction. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade character and giving lines of text a buoyant, uneven texture.
Well suited to display work where a friendly, handmade voice is needed: packaging, posters, social graphics, event titles, greeting cards, and children’s-oriented materials. It performs best in short-to-medium text settings where the high-contrast brush modulation can remain clear and expressive.
The overall tone is cheerful and personable, like casual marker lettering or a playful display hand. Its bouncy contrast and soft shapes read as approachable and slightly quirky rather than formal or technical, lending an expressive, craft-like warmth to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of casual brush lettering in a clean sans framework, prioritizing charm and expressiveness over strict geometric regularity. Its contrast and rounded, tapered strokes aim to add motion and personality to simple messages.
The font’s strongest personality comes from the pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered ends, which can create eye-catching sparkle at larger sizes but a more restless texture in dense setting. Numerals and capitals share the same brushy, rounded behavior, helping mixed-case and numeric content feel consistent and informal.
