A hand-drawn serif with soft, flared terminals and slightly irregular stroke modulation that mimics pen-drawn lettering. Letterforms have gently rounded joins, uneven curves, and small calligraphic swells, giving a lively, organic rhythm. Proportions feel compact with modest counters and a mix of open, rounded shapes (notably in C, O, Q) alongside more angular diagonals (K, V, W, X). Numerals and punctuation carry the same informal shaping, with rounded dots and subtly asymmetric bowls that keep the texture consistent across text.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where personality is more important than strict typographic neutrality—such as children’s titles, playful packaging, café menus, event invitations, and posters. It can also add warmth to headings and pull quotes in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer body face.
The font reads as warm and human, with a storybook charm that feels casual and approachable rather than formal. Its slight wobble and soft serifs add a whimsical, crafty tone suitable for friendly, characterful messaging.
Likely designed to capture the feel of neat, hand-lettered print with subtle calligraphic influence—combining readable structures with deliberate irregularities to keep the page feeling animated and personal.
Caps show a gentle, slightly uneven baseline presence and distinctive curved strokes that keep repeated letters from looking mechanical. The lowercase has a simple, handwritten construction with single-storey forms and occasional narrow apertures, creating a textured, illustrative color in paragraphs.
