Weight
Weight is the width of the marker. The whites of the eyes hold still while their rims grow, so a heavier letter widens to keep its counters open.

About
Every letter is one round-ended marker stroke of even width, drawn after a notebook sheet. On top of that, most letters carry a face: a ring and pupil sitting in a counter, a bowl that is itself an eyeball, small eyes perched on a stroke, or a pair of bare dots. The pupils are aimed. C looks out of its own mouth and R down its leg.
No stroke is square to its neighbours and no letter is symmetric. Each stroke is turned by a few degrees of its own, and every glyph draws its own small variation on top: how far a pupil drifts, how lumpy a dot is, where a lash takes root.
Each letter is drawn three times, and along a line the three take turns, so a doubled letter never repeats. Across the weight axis the whites of the eyes hold still while the rims grow, so a Bold eye stays open.
