A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with rounded forms and gently flared terminals that suggest a broad-pen or marker-like gesture. Strokes stay mostly even, with subtle swelling at curves and joins, and corners are softened rather than sharply serifed. Proportions are slightly irregular in a natural way, with open counters and a relaxed rhythm that keeps text readable while retaining a handmade feel. Numerals and capitals show the same playful shaping, with smooth arcs and occasional teardrop-like finishing strokes.
It suits display sizes where its rounded terminals and hand-rendered details can be appreciated—such as book covers, event materials, menus, and boutique packaging. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a friendly, crafted voice is desired, especially in lifestyle or family-oriented contexts.
The overall tone is warm and personable, balancing a touch of formality from its calligraphic influence with an inviting, human softness. It feels lightly nostalgic and story-driven, lending a charming, crafted character rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to evoke a neat, hand-lettered calligraphic style that remains approachable and highly legible. Its softened shapes and modest flourishes aim to provide personality and charm without sacrificing clarity in common words and phrases.
In running text, the font maintains consistent spacing and clear word shapes, while the distinctive terminal flares and rounded joins provide recognizable texture. The shorter lowercase proportions keep the line compact and emphasize the taller ascenders and capitals for a lively vertical cadence.
