A bold, marker-like hand style with rounded terminals and slightly wobbly outlines that preserve the feel of single-stroke drawing. Strokes are broadly even in thickness with soft corners and occasional bulges, creating a chunky silhouette without sharp detailing. Proportions are open and somewhat wide, with loose spacing and irregular curves that keep each character distinct. The lowercase shows simple, printed forms with a single-storey “a” and “g”, circular counters, and a casually drawn “t” and “r” that reinforce the informal rhythm.
Works best for short to medium-length text where an informal, personable feel is desired—children’s materials, playful packaging, event flyers, social graphics, and craft or DIY branding. It can also add warmth to headings, captions, and callouts where a hand-drawn look supports the message.
The tone is lighthearted and approachable, like handwritten notes or classroom lettering. Its uneven edges and bouncy shapes add personality and humor, giving text an easygoing, human presence rather than a polished, corporate voice.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with consistent thickness and soft, rounded forms. The goal appears to be easy readability paired with a casual, characterful texture suitable for friendly, expressive communication.
Round forms (O, o, 0) lean toward near-circular shapes, while diagonals and joins (K, M, N, W) keep a soft, hand-shaped character rather than geometric precision. Numerals match the same chunky construction and read clearly at display sizes, with friendly curves and minimal sharp angles.
