A lightly built serif with a hand-drawn, monoline feel and gently flared, tapered serifs. Strokes are smooth and rounded with subtly irregular curves and small terminal bulbs that create an inked, sketch-like texture. Proportions are open and readable, with simple, rounded bowls and understated joins; overall spacing feels even and airy while maintaining a relaxed rhythm across text.
It works well for short to medium passages where a friendly, handmade serif texture is desired, such as children’s or lifestyle editorial, craft-oriented packaging, café menus, and boutique branding. At larger sizes it can add character to headlines and posters while remaining legible thanks to its open counters and uncomplicated letterforms.
The font conveys an approachable, whimsical tone—more human and crafty than formal. Its soft terminals and mild irregularities give it a warm, conversational personality suited to playful or narrative settings without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif cues with an informal, hand-rendered finish, providing a decorative yet readable option for warm, personality-driven typography.
Uppercase forms stay fairly restrained while still showing organic stroke endings, and the lowercase carries most of the charm through rounded shapes and slightly quirky details. Numerals match the same soft, handwritten logic, keeping the set cohesive in continuous reading.
