A compact, hand-drawn sans with softly flared stroke endings and subtle tapering that suggests a brush or broad-pen influence without becoming fully serifed. Curves are slightly irregular and lively, with gently pinched joins and asymmetrical bowls that keep the texture human and informal. Capitals have a narrow stance and simple structures, while lowercase forms show more personality through varied terminals and occasional angled strokes. Numerals are straightforward and readable, matching the same tapered, slightly wobbly rhythm.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text such as headlines, posters, book covers, and packaging where a friendly, handcrafted tone is desired. It can also work for children’s materials, event invitations, and branding accents, especially when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The overall tone feels playful and story-like, with an approachable, crafty warmth rather than a technical or corporate voice. Its small quirks and flared terminals add charm and a lightly medieval or fairy-tale flavor, making text feel conversational and characterful.
Likely designed to deliver a casual, hand-crafted alternative to plain sans lettering, combining clean letter skeletons with flared, brush-like terminals for added personality. The aim appears to be charm and approachability while maintaining clear, familiar forms for legibility.
The spacing and rhythm read best when allowed some breathing room, as the tapered terminals and compact proportions can make dense settings feel busy. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample reinforce the informal, hand-rendered character.
