A casual calligraphic hand with a consistent rightward slant and broad, brush-like strokes. Letterforms are built from rounded bowls and softly tapered terminals, with subtly uneven curves that create a lively, drawn-by-hand rhythm. Proportions are gently irregular across the set, giving the alphabet a bouncy, organic texture while maintaining clear silhouettes and steady baseline behavior. Numerals follow the same brushy construction, with open, rounded shapes and slightly angled stress.
Well-suited to display settings where a handcrafted voice is desirable, such as children’s publishing, party or event invitations, boutique packaging, and friendly editorial headers. It can also work for short, medium-size passages when a playful, personal tone is more important than strict typographic uniformity.
The overall tone feels warm and approachable, with a whimsical, storybook character. Its energetic slant and soft curves read as personable and lightly theatrical rather than formal, lending text a friendly, handcrafted charm.
Designed to mimic a confident, pen-and-brush written hand that feels curated but not rigid. The aim appears to be an expressive, readable script-like texture—more like neat calligraphy interpreted through a casual brush marker than a connected cursive.
Spacing appears moderately open, helping the lively shapes avoid crowding in words. Several capitals show distinctive, simplified calligraphic gestures that add personality without becoming ornate, supporting headline use while remaining readable in short passages.
