A lively, hand-drawn roman with softly flared terminals and tapered strokes that mimic a pen held at changing angles. The letterforms show gentle irregularities in width and curvature, producing a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm without feeling messy. Capitals are narrow and calligraphic with pointed joins and occasional spur-like details, while lowercase forms are rounder and more open, with distinctive, sometimes asymmetric bowls and curls. Numerals follow the same drawn logic, mixing smooth curves with sharper entry/exit strokes for a coherent, informal texture.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where its hand-crafted rhythm and tapered terminals can be appreciated—such as book covers, editorial features, posters, boutique branding, and packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when you want a personable, story-like voice rather than a neutral one.
The overall tone feels warm and narrative, like lettering from a classic children’s book or a hand-lettered shop sign. Its quirky stroke endings and subtle inconsistencies add personality and charm, leaning toward imaginative and slightly antiquarian rather than sleek or technical.
The design appears intended to capture the expressiveness of informal pen lettering while remaining structured enough for consistent setting. Its flared, tapered terminals and slightly varied proportions aim to deliver a charming, narrative feel with clear letter differentiation.
Text color is even at display sizes, but the varied stroke tapers and decorative terminals create a textured line that becomes more noticeable as size decreases. The design’s personality is carried by sharp pen-like joins (notably in diagonals and pointed vertices) paired with generous curves in round letters, which keeps the page lively.
