An informal print face with a hand-drawn, brush-pen character and gently modulated strokes. Letterforms show rounded joins, soft wedge-like terminals, and slight irregularities in curvature that create a lively rhythm without feeling messy. Capitals are compact and somewhat top-heavy, while lowercase forms are simplified and open, with single-storey shapes and a noticeably small x-height relative to ascenders. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the natural, written feel while maintaining consistent black density and clear silhouettes.
Best used for short to medium display settings where its handmade texture can be appreciated—children’s books, playful posters, café or craft branding, packaging, and greeting cards. It can also work for pull quotes or headings in editorial layouts when a friendly, informal voice is desired.
The tone is warm and personable, with a storybook charm that reads as casual and approachable. Its subtle quirks and soft terminals give it a cheerful, handmade personality suited to lighthearted messaging rather than formal communication.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a brush-pen, balancing legibility with expressive, slightly irregular forms. It prioritizes charm and personality over strict geometric consistency, making it well suited to approachable, characterful display typography.
The numerals echo the same brushed construction, with rounded curves and slightly calligraphic entry/exit strokes. In text, the face holds together as a coherent system, but the intentionally uneven stroke endings and variable letter widths are part of the style and become more noticeable at larger sizes.
