A lively, hand-drawn print face with brush-like strokes and frequent tapering at terminals. Letterforms are generally upright with a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm and uneven, humanized proportions. Strokes show moderate contrast and a calligraphic feel, with pointed joins and occasional flared or wedge-shaped endings. Counters are open and rounded, while verticals can be slightly irregular, reinforcing the drawn-by-hand character.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display text where a personable, handmade voice is desired, such as children’s titles, posters, labels, and boutique packaging. It can also work for headings, pull quotes, and branded phrases in casual contexts where character is more important than typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, with a quirky, storybook energy. Its spirited shapes and varied stroke endings feel friendly and expressive, suggesting personal notes, crafts, and playful display typography rather than strict formality.
Designed to emulate informal hand lettering with a brush-pen sensibility, prioritizing charm and personality over mechanical regularity. The intent appears to be a readable, playful display style that retains the spontaneity of drawn strokes while staying consistent enough for set text in headlines.
Uppercase forms lean tall and narrow, while lowercase includes distinctive, loopier gestures in letters like g, y, and w. Numerals are similarly hand-shaped with simple, readable structures and subtle stroke tapering that keeps the set cohesive.
