A lively, hand-drawn roman with high-contrast strokes and visibly irregular contours. Stems and bowls show brush-like modulation with tapered ends and occasional sharp, wedgey terminals, giving each letter a slightly different texture and width. Proportions are informal and variable—some glyphs feel narrow and upright while others broaden or lean subtly through their curves—yet the overall rhythm remains readable. The lowercase features simple, single-storey forms and bouncy spacing that emphasizes its sketch-like construction.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters more than typographic neutrality—posters, book covers, playful branding, packaging, and short headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or titles in children’s or whimsical editorial contexts, especially at medium to large sizes where the textured modulation can be appreciated.
The tone is playful and offbeat, with a mischievous, storybook energy. Its uneven stroke edges and elastic proportions read as human-made and expressive rather than engineered, suggesting humor, whimsy, and a lightly chaotic charm.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive brush lettering while keeping a recognizable roman structure for readability. Its controlled high contrast paired with intentionally uneven outlines aims to deliver character and spontaneity, making text feel handcrafted and slightly wacky without becoming illegible.
Capitals mix restrained classical skeletons with idiosyncratic details, such as softened serifs, uneven crossbars, and occasional pointed joins. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, with distinctive, slightly exaggerated curves and varying widths that reinforce the decorative, one-off feel.
