A lively, hand-drawn serif with softly tapered strokes and rounded, slightly bulbous terminals. Letterforms are narrow overall but show subtle width variation from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven, human rhythm. The serifs are small and gentle—more brushy notches than sharp brackets—while bowls and curves lean toward teardrop shapes, giving counters a warm, organic feel. Uppercase forms stay relatively simple and upright, and the lowercase shows a short x-height with tall ascenders/descenders, boosting vertical bounce and texture.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters: titles, short headlines, posters, packaging, and book covers. It can add warmth to invitations, cafe/retail signage, or craft-focused brands, and works well in short text bursts where its hand-drawn rhythm can be appreciated without overwhelming readability.
The font reads as informal and characterful, with a storybook charm and a lightly whimsical tone. Its irregularities feel intentional and friendly rather than rough, suggesting handmade signage, cozy editorial display, or playful branding. The overall impression is approachable and slightly quirky, like inked lettering with a steady but personal hand.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable serif with a hand-rendered feel—combining traditional letter skeletons with playful terminal shaping and gentle stroke taper. Its narrow stance and short x-height emphasize a classic, storybook-like silhouette while the irregular rhythm keeps it informal and expressive.
Distinctive details include the soft, hook-like joins in letters such as J and y, rounded tops on verticals (notably in i/j/l), and a gently calligraphic modulation that keeps stems from feeling mechanical. Numerals are similarly stylized, with curved, animated forms that match the text’s bouncy cadence and help maintain consistency across mixed alphanumerics.
