A hand-drawn roman with softly irregular outlines and a subtly wobbly baseline that gives each glyph a made-by-hand feel. Strokes show slight tapering and uneven pressure, with occasional rough corners and gently blunted terminals that resemble marker or brush-pen texture. Proportions lean narrow to moderate with compact lowercase and a relatively small x-height, while capitals are open and lightly stylized without strict geometric construction. Counters are generously rounded (notably in C, O, Q), and overall spacing reads a bit loose and variable, reinforcing an informal rhythm.
Works well for display uses such as posters, invitations, book covers, and packaging where a handmade voice is desirable. It can also suit short UI labels or pull quotes when you want an approachable, organic texture, but its irregularity and compact lowercase are best showcased at moderate to larger sizes.
The font conveys a warm, human, lightly weathered tone—more artisanal than formal. Its imperfect edges and lively letterforms suggest hand-lettered signage, craft packaging, and storybook titling rather than polished corporate typography.
Likely designed to emulate hand-inked lettering with slight wear and natural inconsistency, balancing readability with a crafted, characterful surface. The goal appears to be an expressive, friendly roman that feels personal and tactile while remaining broadly legible in headlines and short text.
Distinctive gestures include a simple, straight-backed capital I, a curved J with a broad hook, and a Q with a pronounced sweeping tail; numerals share the same hand-inked irregularity and friendly, rounded shapes. The texture remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping longer passages retain a cohesive, casual color.
