A high-contrast serif with soft, teardrop-like terminals and rounded, blunted serifs that feel more brushed than chiseled. Stems often swell and taper, with subtle irregularity that gives the outlines an organic, hand-shaped rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and curves show a gentle, calligraphic modulation rather than strict geometric construction. Uppercase forms are slightly whimsical in proportion, and the lowercase maintains a steady, readable structure with lively, varied stroke endings.
Well suited to display and headline settings where a friendly, handcrafted serif voice is desired—such as children’s publishing, boutique packaging, café menus, event invitations, and characterful brand marks. It can also work for short introductory text or pull quotes when generous spacing and size preserve its lively details.
The overall tone is warm and personable, mixing classic serif cues with a casual, handmade bounce. It reads as charming and slightly theatrical—more storybook and craft-oriented than formal or corporate—while still staying clear enough for short passages.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif structure with a more human, illustrative feel, using high-contrast strokes and softened terminals to create a distinctive, approachable voice for expressive typography.
The design leans on distinctive terminal shapes and soft bracket-like transitions to create personality without heavy ornament. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and rounded finishing, supporting display use with a cohesive, playful texture.
