A lively, brush-drawn roman with rounded forms, soft curves, and subtly irregular stroke edges that preserve a hand-rendered feel. Proportions run on the broad side with open counters and a gently swaying baseline rhythm; letter widths vary naturally across the alphabet. Terminals often finish in small hooks or tapered nubs, giving many shapes a slightly calligraphic, pen-and-ink character without strong thick–thin contrast. Uppercase forms are expressive and curvy, while the lowercase stays simple and readable with compact vertical proportions.
Works well for titles, short passages, and branding moments that benefit from a friendly handmade voice—such as children’s publishing, craft or artisan packaging, café menus, event posters, and greeting cards. In longer copy it can remain readable, but it’s best used where its textured, brushy presence is a feature rather than a background neutral.
The overall tone is playful and personable, with a light, storybook charm. Its informal, slightly quirky construction suggests handmade authenticity—warm rather than polished, and expressive without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-lettered, story-centric voice with calligraphic touches—prioritizing warmth, character, and an organic rhythm over strict geometric consistency.
The numerals and punctuation follow the same rounded, hand-cut look, maintaining a consistent texture in running text. The rhythm is steady but intentionally imperfect, producing a casual, human cadence that stands out most at display sizes.
