A lively handwritten print with slim strokes and tapered, brush-like endings that often sharpen into points. Letterforms are slightly condensed and irregular in width, with rounded bowls and occasional asymmetric joins that give the line a natural, drawn rhythm. Curves are smooth but not geometric, and many strokes show subtle swelling and tapering, producing a gentle calligraphic contrast. Spacing is moderately open and the overall texture stays airy, with distinctive forms like the pointed V/W and looping, hooked descenders on letters such as g and y.
Works well for short to medium text where personality is desired—children’s books, playful headlines, posters, and themed packaging. It can also add a handcrafted voice to branding, invitations, and greeting cards, especially when paired with simple supporting type. Best used at display or comfortable reading sizes to let the tapered terminals and quirky details remain clear.
The tone feels playful and storybook-like, with a whimsical, slightly mischievous energy created by the spiky terminals and uneven hand pressure. It reads as friendly and informal rather than polished or corporate, suggesting a crafted, human presence. The quirky details in capitals and numerals add character without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush or marker lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing charm and expressiveness over strict regularity. Its tapered stroke endings and varied widths aim to create a lively, handmade texture while keeping the alphabet broadly legible in running text.
Capitals are tall and expressive, with several forms leaning on teardrop terminals and inward pinches that emphasize the hand-drawn construction. Lowercase maintains a consistent x-height while allowing distinctive ascenders and descenders that add bounce. Numerals follow the same tapered logic, with simple, legible silhouettes and occasional flourish-like hooks.
