A lively, hand-drawn roman with soft, bracketed wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes feel brushy and slightly irregular, with tapered terminals and occasional asymmetry that keeps the rhythm organic. Counters are generally open and rounded, while capitals sit tall with gently flared tops and uneven curves; the lowercase mixes sturdy stems with buoyant bowls and a somewhat springy baseline feel. Figures are expressive and oldstyle-leaning in spirit, showing varied widths and curved strokes that read as drawn rather than constructed.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where character is desired—children’s publishing, playful branding, café or artisanal packaging, event posters, and pull quotes. It can work for larger blocks of text when generous size and spacing are used, letting the contrast and hand-drawn texture remain clear without feeling busy.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a storybook charm that feels approachable and a little mischievous. Its textured contrast and hand-made quirks suggest personality and motion, lending a cheerful, human voice rather than a polished corporate one.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif silhouette with a hand-rendered, brush-pen personality—keeping recognizable letterforms while adding expressive modulation and charming irregularities. It aims to feel traditional yet informal, prioritizing warmth, readability, and distinctive rhythm over strict geometric consistency.
Word shapes have a pleasantly uneven cadence, with noticeable variety between straight and curved forms and a slightly calligraphic stress in round letters. The punctuation and dots appear rounded and substantial, reinforcing the friendly, tactile texture in text settings.
