A lively, hand-drawn italic with brush-like strokes and gently flared terminals. Letterforms lean forward with irregular, organic curves and subtly uneven stroke modulation that suggests a broad or flexible tool. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with slightly condensed verticals in some letters and fuller, rounder bowls in others, creating a variable rhythm across words. The lowercase shows a relatively short x-height with tall ascenders and occasional long, tapered descenders, while counters stay open and shapes remain broadly legible at display sizes.
This font is best suited to display applications where its handmade texture can be appreciated: book covers, headlines, posters, packaging, and branding for craft, food, or boutique contexts. It can work for short text blocks or pull quotes, but its irregular rhythm and short x-height favor larger sizes over dense body copy.
The overall tone feels storybook and folkloric—playful, slightly dramatic, and distinctly handmade. Its warm imperfections and spirited slant give it a personable voice that reads as craft-oriented rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the expressiveness of informal brush lettering while keeping enough consistency for readable mixed-case text. Its forward slant, flared stroke endings, and varied letter widths aim to add motion and personality, supporting expressive titles and decorative typography.
Uppercase forms have a strong presence with soft, brushy joins and occasional wedge-like finishing strokes, while the lowercase keeps a casual, pen-written cadence. Numerals follow the same drawn character, with rounded forms and small idiosyncrasies that help maintain an illustrative, human feel in mixed text.
