A calligraphic handwritten face with slender, tapered strokes and subtly flared, brush-like terminals. Letterforms are largely upright with gently uneven stroke texture and small variations in width and curvature that create a natural, drawn rhythm. Counters are open and rounded, with occasional sharp joins and pointed apexes in forms like A, V, W, and Y that add sparkle. Spacing feels slightly loose and variable, reinforcing the informal, hand-rendered character while remaining generally clear at display sizes.
Works best for short-to-medium text where personality matters: titles, pull quotes, book covers, boutique packaging, invitations, and greeting cards. It can also suit signage and posters that want a handcrafted feel, while long body copy may read more comfortably when set with generous size and leading.
The overall tone is playful and story-like, mixing a touch of old-world calligraphy with a casual, homemade warmth. Its slight wobble and tapered ends give it a personable, whimsical voice suited to charming, imaginative messaging rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of a pen or brush-drawn alphabet—tidy enough to be legible, but intentionally irregular to preserve a human touch. The tapered strokes and flared terminals suggest a calligraphic influence adapted for friendly, contemporary display use.
Uppercase forms tend to be narrow and airy, while lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, simple i/j dots, and softly curved descenders, all contributing to an approachable texture. Numerals are similarly light and rounded, with gentle asymmetries that match the letterforms.
