A slender, hand-drawn print face with softly irregular strokes and a gently uneven rhythm that feels written rather than constructed. Forms are tall and narrow with generous vertical emphasis, modest contrast, and rounded ends that avoid sharp mechanical corners. Curves are slightly eccentric and bowls are lightly pinched or egg-shaped, giving the alphabet a lively, human cadence. Uppercase and lowercase maintain consistent simplicity, with single-storey a and g, compact counters, and narrow proportions that keep lines of text light and open.
Well suited to playful display and short-to-medium text where a friendly, handcrafted voice is desired, such as children’s publishing, gift and stationery designs, labels, and lighthearted posters. It can also work for branding in craft, boutique, or homemade contexts where a personal, informal tone is beneficial.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a whimsical, storybook personality. Its informal, drawn-by-hand character suggests warmth and spontaneity while remaining tidy enough to read comfortably. The tall, thin silhouettes add a slightly quirky, delicate charm that can feel youthful without becoming overly messy.
The design appears intended to capture a neat handwritten print style—legible and consistent, yet intentionally imperfect—balancing charm with readability. Its narrow, tall structure and soft terminals suggest an aim for a light, airy texture that feels personable and distinctive in headings and conversational copy.
The figures follow the same narrow, hand-rendered logic as the letters, with rounded curves and a lightly wobbly baseline impression in text. Spacing appears airy, and the stroke endings and small asymmetries help preserve an authentic handwritten feel across longer passages.
