A lively italic serif with a distinctly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, but the letterforms show gently wobbled curves, slightly shifting widths, and idiosyncratic serif shapes that feel more brushed than machined. Serifs are small and often bracketed, with soft, tapered terminals and occasional hook-like finishes. Counters are generally open and rounded, and the overall texture is animated by uneven character widths and a subtly restless baseline/spacing feel in running text.
Best used at display sizes where its quirky details and uneven rhythm can be appreciated—such as headlines, posters, packaging, and book covers. It can also work for short passages in thematic contexts (e.g., children’s media or playful editorial callouts) where personality is more important than strict typographic neutrality.
The tone is playful and eccentric, with a charming, off-kilter personality that reads as informal and characterful rather than refined. It suggests humor and spontaneity, giving text a friendly, slightly mischievous voice well-suited to lighthearted themes.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, one-off voice: an italic serif that feels intentionally imperfect and handcrafted to add character, humor, and motion to otherwise straightforward Latin text.
Uppercase forms have a jaunty, calligraphic slant and simplified serif detailing, while lowercase letters lean into looped and hooked constructions that emphasize motion. Numerals follow the same spirited approach, with rounded forms and mild asymmetry that keeps the set visually cohesive.
