A slender, hand-drawn roman with gently irregular rhythm and lightly calligraphic construction. Strokes show subtle tapering and soft terminals rather than crisp, mechanical endings, giving the outlines a drawn-by-hand feel while remaining clean and readable. Proportions are narrow with modest, slightly uneven widths across characters, and rounded forms (like O/C) feel softly egg-shaped rather than perfectly geometric. Ascenders are relatively tall, counters are open, and the overall texture stays light and airy in paragraph settings.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a friendly, crafted personality is desired—such as headlines, packaging labels, invitations, book covers, and editorial callouts. In longer passages it maintains readability, but its narrow proportions and light color particularly favor comfortable sizes and generous line spacing.
The tone is playful and personable, with a mild vintage/handwritten charm that feels more storybook than formal. Its relaxed irregularities and narrow, delicate shapes create an inviting, slightly quirky voice that suits expressive, human-centered messaging.
The design appears intended to bridge legibility and hand-drawn character: a tidy print handwriting style that reads like an informal book face. It aims to add warmth and individuality without becoming overly decorative or hard to set.
Capitals have a simple, monoline-ish silhouette with small variations in stroke thickness, while lowercase forms lean toward print handwriting with single-storey shapes and gentle curves. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, looking clear but informal, with rounded, slightly uneven bowls and light finishing strokes.
