A slender, hand-drawn text face with tall proportions and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes are wiry and clean with subtle calligraphic modulation, producing gentle thick–thin moments without feeling formally serifed. Curves are rounded and open, terminals are mostly tapered or softly blunt, and many letters lean on vertical stems that read like pen-written forms. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, giving words a bouncy texture while keeping overall alignment and baseline behavior consistent.
Works best for short-to-medium text where a handmade voice is desired: titles, pull quotes, invitations, greeting cards, labels, and playful branding. It can also support longer passages in larger sizes for editorial or educational materials when a light, friendly texture is appropriate.
The font conveys an approachable, whimsical tone—more casual and human than polished or corporate. Its narrow, airy forms feel light on the page and suggest personal notes, playful signage, and storybook narration rather than strict typography. The mild calligraphic flavor adds a touch of charm and delicacy without becoming ornate.
Designed to emulate neat, pen-written lettering with a controlled, calligraphic touch—prioritizing charm, legibility, and a natural handwritten cadence. The consistent construction across capitals, lowercase, and figures suggests an all-purpose display-text hybrid aimed at expressive, human-forward typography.
Uppercase letters are tall and simple, with a hand-rendered looseness that remains legible in running text. Lowercase forms show the strongest personality, with springy ascenders/descenders and small, neat counters that create a lively texture. Numerals match the same thin, handwritten construction, keeping the set visually coherent across mixed content.
