A hand-drawn, print-style roman with gently flared, serif-like terminals and a subtly calligraphic stroke. Letterforms show lively, human variance in width and curvature, with slightly uneven verticals and rounded joins that keep the texture organic. Proportions lean tall with a relatively small x-height, and counters are open enough to stay readable despite the informal rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry the same tapered, inked finish, giving the set a cohesive, handmade look.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where personality is desired: headings, titles, packaging, posters, and book-cover typography. It can also work for pull quotes or branded phrases, especially when a friendly, handcrafted voice is more important than strict uniformity.
The overall tone is warm and whimsical, like lettering from a children’s book or a crafty boutique label. Its bouncy rhythm and softly exaggerated terminals add charm and personality, creating an approachable, lightly theatrical feel without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to mimic informal hand lettering with a lightly serifed, ink-on-paper finish. Its narrow, tall proportions and playful irregularities suggest a focus on expressive readability for characterful display use.
Capitals feel notably tall and graphic, while lowercase forms retain a casual, slightly irregular cadence that reads as intentionally drawn rather than mechanically constructed. The contrast and terminal flares are consistent across letters and figures, helping maintain clarity in longer lines of text.
