A hand-drawn serif with lively, irregular outlines and noticeable stroke contrast that mimics pressure changes from a pen or brush. Stems are generally slender with intermittent swelling, while terminals taper or flare into small wedge-like serifs and soft hooks. The rhythm is intentionally uneven—counters and curves wobble slightly, and widths vary from glyph to glyph—creating a casual, handmade texture. Lowercase forms are compact with a relatively small x-height, and ascenders/descenders add vertical character without feeling formal or calligraphic.
Works best where a personable, handcrafted look is desirable—such as packaging, café menus, posters, book covers, and branding accents. It can also support short paragraphs or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, where its textured rhythm reads as intentional and engaging rather than distracting.
The overall tone is warm and quirky, like lettering from a handmade sign or storybook page. Its slight wobble and high-contrast strokes give it charm and personality, suggesting informality and approachability rather than precision.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of informal hand lettering while retaining readable serif structures and clear word shapes. Its contrast, tapered serifs, and intentional irregularities aim to provide a distinctive, friendly voice for display and expressive text settings.
Capital letters feel display-oriented with distinctive silhouettes (notably rounded bowls and occasional exaggerated strokes), while the numerals share the same drawn character and contrast, helping text retain a consistent handmade voice. Spacing reads slightly uneven in a natural way, reinforcing the crafted, human feel.
