A hand-drawn print style with tall, narrow proportions and lively, variable strokes that taper into pointed terminals. Letterforms mix straight, slightly wobbly stems with rounded bowls and occasional subtle flares, creating an organic, pen-like rhythm. Curves are smooth but not mechanically uniform, and the overall texture shows deliberate irregularity in widths and joins while staying legible. Numerals follow the same drawn character, with slender figures and lightly curved strokes that keep the set cohesive.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality is a priority, such as headlines, posters, cover titles, and packaging callouts. It also works well for invitations, café menus, classroom materials, and branded quotes where a handcrafted, friendly voice is desired. For dense body copy, its high-contrast strokes and lively shapes may read best at larger sizes.
The font feels informal and personable, with a lightly theatrical, storybook tone. Its bouncy silhouettes and sharp-tapered endings add charm and a hint of mischief, reading as friendly rather than formal. The overall impression is handcrafted and expressive, suitable for warm, characterful messaging.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with a pen or brush-pen feel, combining legibility with intentional quirks. The goal appears to be an approachable display face that brings human warmth and a playful cadence to contemporary layouts.
Uppercase forms appear relatively tall and open, while lowercase maintains a compact presence that reinforces the narrow, vertical cadence. Contrast and stroke tapering create sparkle in headlines, but the irregularities also give it a distinctly handmade texture that becomes more noticeable in longer passages.
