A lively hand-drawn print face with tapered, brush-like strokes and sharp entry/exit points that create frequent wedge terminals. Letterforms are slender and slightly irregular, with a gently uneven baseline and subtly varied proportions that keep the rhythm organic rather than mechanical. Curves are open and airy, counters stay generous, and many strokes show a quick, flicked finish that reads as pen or brush pressure changes. Numerals and capitals follow the same hand-rendered logic, mixing straight stems with softly swelling curves for an overall animated texture.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, titles, and short passages where its expressive texture can be appreciated. It can work well for book covers, event materials, packaging, and greeting cards that benefit from a handmade, playful tone; for long-form body text it will read more as decorative than neutral.
The font feels whimsical and storybook-like, with a playful, slightly mischievous tone. Its scratchy elegance and lively stroke endings suggest an illustrative, hand-crafted voice suited to informal, characterful messaging rather than strict neutrality.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, expressive hand lettering with visible stroke energy and pointed brush terminals, prioritizing personality and motion over strict geometric consistency. Its forms balance legibility with charm, aiming to give text an illustrated, human presence.
Spacing appears moderately loose in the sample text, which helps maintain clarity despite the irregular stroke modulation. The distinctive pointed terminals and occasional asymmetry give words a textured, “written in the moment” feel that becomes more prominent at larger sizes.
