A lively, hand-drawn print with softly calligraphic construction and gently tapered strokes. Forms are generally upright with slightly irregular curves and subtle flaring at terminals, giving an ink-on-paper feel rather than rigid geometry. Uppercase letters are narrow and airy with open bowls and restrained crossbars, while the lowercase shows more movement and personality, including looped and angled joins within individual letters. Numerals are simple and readable, with a similarly drawn, slightly uneven line quality that keeps the set cohesive.
Well suited to short-to-medium text in applications that benefit from a personal, crafted voice—such as book covers, editorial pull quotes, menus, invitations, and packaging. It also works nicely for headings and subheads where a friendly, handwritten presence is desired without connecting script.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a lightly literary, storybook character. Its subtle wobble and tapered finishes read as human and approachable, adding charm without becoming overly decorative or chaotic.
The design appears intended to emulate neat hand lettering with a touch of calligraphic taper, balancing readability with character. It aims to feel natural and personable, providing an informal alternative to standard text faces for display and expressive copy.
Stroke endings often resolve into small hooks or flicks, and round letters stay open and generous, supporting clarity at display sizes. The mix of steadier capitals and more animated lowercase creates a pleasant rhythm in running text, though the hand-drawn variance is part of the intended texture.
