A lively, slanted serif with an intentionally uneven, hand-drawn construction. Strokes show brush- or pen-like modulation with soft tapering and occasional swelling, creating a gently wobbly rhythm rather than strict repetition. Serifs are small and irregular, often wedge-like, and terminals tend to curl or flick, especially in letters like J, S, and y. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed overall, with round forms that feel squeezed and a baseline presence that subtly dances from glyph to glyph.
Best used at display sizes where the irregular stroke behavior and charming serif quirks can be appreciated. It suits short headlines, packaging callouts, book or chapter titles, and themed materials where personality matters more than strict typographic neutrality. For long passages, it works most comfortably in brief, airy settings where its animated texture won’t overwhelm the page.
The tone is playful and offbeat, with a casual storybook energy that feels human and improvised. Its eccentric details and bouncy movement read as comedic and friendly rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted flavor—mixing serif letterforms with calligraphic movement and deliberate inconsistency. It prioritizes charm, motion, and memorable texture to create a distinctive voice for expressive display typography.
Uppercase forms remain readable but lean into characterful quirks—curved cross-strokes, uneven joins, and varying inner counters. Numerals match the same loose, calligraphic logic, with simplified shapes and soft, ink-like ends that keep the set visually cohesive.
