A hand-drawn print face with slim strokes and gently uneven contours that mimic marker or brush-pen pressure. Letterforms are upright but lively, with subtly wobbly verticals, softened terminals, and occasional flared or tapered endings. Proportions vary noticeably across characters, producing an uneven rhythm; counters are generally open and round, and curves feel slightly pinched in places for a sketchlike character. The lowercase shows a compact x-height with tall ascenders/descenders, while numerals and capitals keep a similarly narrow, tall stance for a consistent vertical emphasis.
Works well for short-to-medium display copy where a friendly, informal voice is desired—such as packaging, café menus, event invites, craft branding, and posters. It can also serve as accent type in editorial or social graphics, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is casual and personable, with a storybook, crafty warmth rather than a polished corporate finish. Its small irregularities and bouncy spacing give it an approachable, homemade charm suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of hand lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing warmth and personality over geometric uniformity. Its narrow, tall proportions and playful irregularities suggest use in expressive display settings rather than strict, long-form reading.
Stroke modulation appears inconsistent by design, with small kinks and asymmetries that enhance the handmade feel. In longer text, the narrow, tall shapes create a rhythmic column-like texture, while the uneven widths keep the line lively.
