A hand-drawn print face with gently irregular strokes and softened, slightly flared terminals that mimic marker or brush pressure. Letterforms are narrow with variable character widths, and the overall rhythm feels lively rather than mechanically uniform. Curves are rounded and open, while verticals stay mostly straight, creating a clear upright stance. The lowercase shows a short x-height with relatively tall ascenders/descenders, and the numerals echo the same casual, slightly wobbly construction for a cohesive texture.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, handmade voice is desirable—such as children’s publishing, invitations and greeting cards, boutique packaging, café menus, and playful posters. It can also work for headers or pull quotes in editorial layouts where a casual, personal tone is needed.
The font reads as warm and whimsical, with a light storybook charm and a conversational, handcrafted tone. Its subtle inconsistencies add personality and approachability, leaning more playful than formal.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of neat hand lettering in an unconnected print style—legible and upright, but with enough stroke variance and irregularity to feel authentically drawn. It prioritizes charm and personality over strict typographic uniformity.
Capitals have a simple, lightly calligraphic feel without connecting strokes, and the ampersand is notably decorative and looped. Spacing appears intentionally a bit uneven to preserve the handwritten character, producing a textured line in paragraph samples.
