A rounded, hand-drawn sans with soft terminals and a slightly wobbly baseline rhythm. Strokes show subtle width and edge variation, as if made with a marker or brush pen, creating lightly roughened contours and occasional ink-buildup in curves. Counters are generally open and circular, with simplified construction and loose geometry; bowls, shoulders, and joints feel organic rather than mechanically consistent. Overall spacing reads airy and comfortable, with broad forms and a relaxed, informal texture across lines of text.
Well suited to short headlines, packaging callouts, posters, and social graphics where a friendly handmade feel is desirable. It can also work for children’s materials, craft branding, and informal signage, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the textured edges and playful shapes can be appreciated.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a doodled, human touch that feels spontaneous and non-precious. Its irregularities add charm and humor, giving the alphabet a lively, conversational personality suited to lighthearted messaging.
Likely designed to capture the look of quick marker lettering with a controlled, repeatable alphabet. The goal appears to be an approachable display face with mild distress and organic variability, emphasizing personality and tactility over strict typographic precision.
The distressed character comes through in the uneven stroke edges and small inconsistencies in curves and joins, which create a printed-by-hand effect without becoming heavily degraded. Numerals and capitals maintain the same rounded, casual voice, supporting display use where character matters as much as clarity.
