A hand-drawn print face with slender, high-contrast strokes and subtly flared, serif-like terminals that echo broad-nib calligraphy. Letterforms are upright and slightly irregular, with a lively baseline and gentle wobble in curves and stems that keeps the texture organic. Counters are moderately open, ascenders are prominent, and the x-height reads small relative to capitals and extenders, giving the lowercase a tall, airy feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same informal construction, with varied widths and slightly uneven stroke edges that reinforce the drawn character.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a handcrafted voice is desired—such as book covers, boutique packaging, café menus, posters, and invitations. It can also work for brief editorial pull quotes or section headers when you want an informal, characterful texture without full cursive connectivity.
The overall tone feels storybook and handmade, combining old-world charm with a playful, approachable warmth. Its uneven rhythm and brush-pen energy suggest a human presence rather than typographic rigidity, leaning toward whimsical and rustic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic informal hand lettering with calligraphic influence—capturing the contrast and terminal shaping of a pen while keeping letters unconnected for easy readability. Its proportions and gentle irregularities aim to provide personality and charm in display settings.
Capitals have a display-like presence with softly modeled joins and occasional pointed finishes, while the lowercase maintains legibility through consistent stem weight and clear apertures. The ampersand matches the calligraphic logic of the rest of the set, and punctuation integrates cleanly without looking mechanical.
