A casual, hand-drawn roman with rounded forms, soft wedge-like stroke endings, and small serif-like flicks that give the letters a lightly calligraphic finish without connecting strokes. Strokes stay fairly even and substantial, with subtle swell at curves and a slightly uneven rhythm that keeps the texture lively. Proportions are compact with a modest x-height and generous counters; capitals feel sturdy and slightly decorative, while lowercase shows bouncy bowls and gently pinched joins. Numerals are simple and legible, matching the same rounded, brushed construction.
It works well for children’s and educational materials, playful packaging, café or boutique branding, and short to medium display text such as posters, headings, and pull quotes. For longer passages, it remains readable when set with comfortable size and leading, especially in print or high-contrast UI contexts.
The font reads warm and approachable, with a storybook charm that feels handmade rather than formal. Its irregularities and soft terminals create a whimsical, friendly tone suited to lighthearted communication.
The likely intention is to deliver a handmade, calligraphic-leaning text voice that feels friendly and crafted, combining familiar roman letterforms with soft flares and a gently imperfect rhythm for approachable display and editorial use.
The design mixes roman structure with hand-rendered quirks: occasional asymmetry, varied curve tension, and small flared terminals that act like informal serifs. In paragraphs it forms an airy, open color, with noticeable character in capitals and ample spacing that supports readability at moderate sizes.
