A decorative, hand-drawn Latin with monoline-like strokes that swell into teardrop terminals and uneven, ink-trap-like bulges. Curves are round and soft with frequent asymmetrical thickening, giving bowls and joins a blobby, organic texture. Proportions are loose and variable, with narrow verticals contrasted by wider round letters; counters stay open and fairly large despite the decorative shaping. Capitals are simplified and friendly, while lowercase forms lean on single-storey construction and lollipop dots, keeping the overall rhythm lively and irregular.
Best suited for short display settings where personality is the priority: posters, headlines, playful branding, packaging, and book covers. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in informal layouts, while longer text blocks may feel visually busy due to its irregular rhythm and decorative terminals.
The letterforms feel mischievous and lighthearted, like a wobbly marker or brush script translated into a quirky print style. Its uneven swelling and tapered ends add a sense of motion and humor, evoking playful retro signage and offbeat children’s-book energy without becoming chaotic.
This design appears intended to inject character and spontaneity into display typography by combining clean, readable skeletons with intentionally inconsistent swelling and teardrop terminals. The goal reads as a one-of-a-kind, attention-getting voice that feels hand-made and friendly rather than polished or technical.
Distinctive teardrop endings appear on many stems (notably in I, J, t, and several diagonals), and several characters show deliberate quirks such as compact arms, pinched joins, and rounded cross-strokes. Numerals follow the same soft, swollen logic, with notably circular 0/8 shapes and a simple, airy 1/7 that keeps the set casual and hand-made in feel.
