A chunky, hand-drawn print face with rounded terminals and a brush-marker feel. Strokes are heavy and slightly uneven, with gentle swelling and tapering that suggests quick, confident writing rather than constructed geometry. Letterforms lean mostly upright with a bouncy baseline rhythm and loose, open counters; widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving words a lively, informal texture. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent stroke personality, with simplified forms and soft corners that keep the overall color dense but approachable.
Works best for short-to-medium text where personality is the goal: headlines, posters, labels, packaging callouts, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It’s especially effective when paired with simple layouts and ample spacing, where its dense strokes and lively rhythm can act as the primary visual voice.
The font reads as warm, upbeat, and conversational—more like a note on a sign than a formal typographic system. Its irregularities and rounded heft create a friendly, kidlike energy without feeling messy, making it well-suited to lighthearted messaging.
Designed to deliver an approachable, handwritten message with the immediacy of marker lettering. The emphasis appears to be on charm and impact over strict uniformity, creating a friendly display style that feels personal and spontaneous.
Numerals and punctuation match the same marker-like construction, keeping tone consistent across mixed copy. The bold stroke weight produces strong presence, while the hand-drawn variance adds character that becomes part of the visual rhythm in longer lines.
