A lively, hand-drawn serif with subtly irregular outlines and a faint roughened edge that suggests brush or distressed ink. Strokes show gentle contrast and a slightly springy rhythm, with occasional flared and pointed terminals that create a pricked, expressive silhouette. The uppercase feels open and rounded overall, while the lowercase mixes soft curves with narrow joins and a few unexpectedly angled details. Figures are simple and readable but carry the same uneven, organic finish, keeping the texture consistent across the set.
Well-suited to short display settings such as headlines, posters, covers, and packaging where a handmade, whimsical voice is desired. It can also work for titles and pull quotes in creative editorial layouts, or for greeting cards and event materials that benefit from an informal, playful tone.
The font reads as playful and eccentric, with a lightly mischievous energy created by its uneven contours and spiky finishing touches. It evokes a crafty, storybook tone—friendly and informal rather than polished or corporate. The overall impression is characterful and a bit odd in a deliberate, decorative way.
Likely drawn to provide a distinctive, character-led display face that feels hand-rendered and slightly distressed, trading typographic neutrality for personality. The design leans into irregular contours and expressive terminals to create a memorable, one-off texture in larger sizes.
The texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the rough edge and small flicks at terminals contribute to its charm. In longer passages the irregularities can add visual noise, so it tends to feel best when used as a voice rather than a neutral text face.
