A lively, hand-drawn print face with tall, slightly condensed proportions and a buoyant rhythm. Strokes show clear pen-like modulation, moving from hairline-thin connections to thicker downstrokes, with softly tapered terminals and occasional hooked or flared ends. Curves are gently irregular and organic, and bowls and counters tend toward oval shapes, giving the alphabet a breezy, handwritten consistency while keeping forms open and readable. Capitals are narrow and vertical, with simplified construction and minimal ornament, while lowercase introduces more bounce through varied joins and softly looping forms.
Well-suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and expressive UI moments where a friendly handmade voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, café menus, children’s materials, and craft-oriented branding. It can also add character to pull quotes and social graphics, especially where a light, informal tone is appropriate.
The overall tone feels cheerful and approachable, with a lightly eccentric, storybook quality. Its ink-like contrast and casual irregularity read as personal and human, lending warmth and spontaneity without becoming messy.
The design appears intended to simulate quick, confident handwriting with a calligraphic pen feel—combining readable print shapes with just enough irregularity and stroke modulation to feel personal, charming, and energetic.
The font balances slender letterforms with strong thick–thin contrast, creating a crisp silhouette at display sizes. Ascenders and descenders are prominent, adding vertical momentum, while the numerals and punctuation echo the same pen-drawn modulation for a cohesive texture in mixed text.
