A lively, hand-drawn roman with slightly wobbly strokes and subtly uneven outlines that mimic ink or marker on textured paper. Forms are generally simple and open, with gentle modulation and rounded joins, but with irregular terminals and small variations in curvature that keep the rhythm intentionally imperfect. Spacing and character widths vary noticeably, giving text a loose, human cadence; counters remain clear enough for short reading despite the decorative distortion.
Works best in display contexts such as posters, book covers, headings, packaging, and playful branding where a handcrafted voice is desirable. It can also support short bursts of body text in invitations, menus, or editorial sidebars, but the irregular rhythm makes it more effective at larger sizes than in dense, long-form reading.
The overall tone is quirky and playful, with a homespun, storybook feel. Its unevenness reads as intentional and expressive rather than refined, suggesting whimsy, DIY craft, and lighthearted eccentricity.
Designed to capture an informal, human-made look—prioritizing personality and charm over geometric precision. The consistent wobble and varied widths suggest an intention to feel spontaneous and distinctive, suited to expressive, one-off typographic moments.
Uppercase shapes keep familiar skeletons but introduce distinctive quirks (notably rounded, slightly lopsided bowls and softened corners). Lowercase includes single-storey forms and casual proportions, and the figures follow the same hand-rendered logic with simple, slightly wavering curves and diagonals.
