A handwritten, calligraphic display face with a predominantly monoline stroke and softly rounded joins. Letterforms are tall and narrow with gently irregular widths, giving a lively, hand-drawn rhythm while staying fairly consistent in stroke texture. Terminals often curl into small hooks or teardrop-like finishes, and several capitals use looping, decorative constructions that echo pen-made gestures. Counters are open and clean, with minimal contrast and an overall upright stance.
Best used in headlines, short phrases, and titling where its decorative capitals and narrow, upright rhythm can shine. It fits invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging that wants a personable, handcrafted tone. For longer passages, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the small x-height and fine, monoline details remain clear.
The font reads friendly and whimsical, with a storybook charm that feels informal but intentional. Its looped capitals and curly endings add a light, decorative tone suited to playful or lightly theatrical messaging rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, pen-drawn lettering with a lightly calligraphic finish—combining approachable readability with enough flourish to feel special. Its emphasis on distinctive capitals and curled terminals suggests a goal of adding personality and charm to display typography without becoming overly ornate.
Capitals are the most ornate, featuring distinctive loops and occasional swash-like strokes, while lowercase stays simpler and more legible. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with smooth curves and a slightly bouncy baseline feel in running text. Spacing appears comfortable for display settings, where the narrow proportions and tall ascenders can create an airy, vertical texture.
