A hand-drawn roman with lightly tapered strokes and subtly uneven outlines that mimic marker or brush-pen pressure without sharp contrast. The letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with gently rounded terminals, occasional angular joins, and small baseline and cap-height irregularities that create a lively rhythm. Counters tend to be open and rounded, while curves and diagonals show slight wobble that reinforces an informal, crafted feel. Numerals follow the same freehand logic, with soft curves and mild asymmetry that keeps the texture consistent in running text.
This font suits short-to-medium display copy such as posters, titles, invitations, greeting cards, and playful packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in editorial or educational materials when a friendly, handmade voice is desired.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a whimsical, storybook character that feels conversational rather than formal. Its playful bounce and handmade imperfections suggest craft, classroom, or boutique contexts, where charm and approachability matter more than strict typographic precision.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of hand-lettering in a clean, unconnected roman style, balancing readability with a deliberately imperfect, human rhythm. It prioritizes charm and personality, giving text an artisanal, informal presence.
Spacing appears moderately tight and organic, with letter shapes that vary slightly in width and stance, producing a textured, animated line. The design reads clearly at display sizes, while the intentional irregularities become more noticeable as sizes get smaller.
