A hand-drawn, marker-like sans with rounded forms and visibly irregular stroke edges. Letter shapes are mostly simple and open, with uneven curvature, slightly wavering verticals, and occasional blunt terminals that suggest a felt-tip or dry-brush texture. Proportions are loosely consistent but intentionally imperfect, with bouncy spacing and small variations in width from glyph to glyph; counters stay fairly generous, helping the alphabet remain readable despite the rough outline. Numerals follow the same casual construction, with soft curves and a slightly scribbled finish.
Well-suited for posters, packaging, labels, and social graphics that benefit from a handmade voice. It also fits craft-oriented branding, casual café or market signage, and children’s or hobby-themed materials where warmth and informality are desired. For longer passages, it works best in short blocks or headlines where its texture can remain a feature without tiring the eye.
The overall tone is relaxed and approachable, like quick handwritten signage or a sketchbook caption. Its textured outlines and friendly roundness give it a crafty, DIY personality that feels personal rather than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, real-world marker lettering with a deliberately imperfect outline, providing an easygoing display face that adds personality and human touch to contemporary layouts.
In continuous text, the uneven rhythm and textured edges become more apparent, adding character and movement. The font reads best when the organic irregularities are allowed to show—at larger sizes or with comfortable tracking—where the roughness looks intentional rather than noisy.
