A stylized upright sans with softly chiseled strokes and rounded, slightly pinched terminals that create a hand-hewn look. Curves are generously rounded and often taper into subtle points, giving letters a carved, calligraphic edge without true serifs. Proportions are somewhat irregular across the alphabet, with lively width changes and occasional asymmetry that add rhythm and personality in text. Counters tend to be open and oval, and joins and shoulders have a gentle swelling that keeps the texture warm rather than mechanical.
This font is well suited to headlines and short passages where its distinctive, hand-carved texture can be appreciated—such as posters, book covers, packaging, and brand marks with a friendly or rustic character. It can work for display text blocks at comfortable sizes, where the lively proportions read as intentional personality rather than noise.
The overall tone feels playful and folkloric, with a storybook charm that suggests hand-made signage or decorative lettering. Its uneven cadence reads friendly and quirky, leaning toward expressive display use rather than strict neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, crafted sans voice—borrowing the energy of hand lettering and carved forms while staying upright and broadly readable. Its goal is to add warmth and narrative character to typography without relying on overt ornamentation.
Capitals have a tall, arched presence, while lowercase forms keep a buoyant bounce through curved stems and soft, scooped joins. Numerals follow the same carved, rounded logic, maintaining a consistent decorative texture alongside letters.
