A lively, monoline-leaning sans with gently calligraphic modulation and frequent tapered stroke endings. Curves are broad and open, with rounded bowls and soft joins, while diagonals and terminals often finish in sharp, pen-like points. Proportions are slightly irregular in a controlled way, creating an animated rhythm across words; counters stay generous, and spacing reads comfortable rather than tight. The overall construction stays clean and largely sans in silhouette, but with decorative, stroke-driven nuance in letters like G, J, K, Q, and the numerals.
Works well for display settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and cover typography where its expressive terminals can be appreciated. It can also support packaging and branding that aims for a handcrafted, approachable feel, and it suits short-to-medium editorial snippets when a light, playful voice is desired.
The tone feels playful and personable, like a neat hand with a bit of flourish. Its pointed terminals and subtle swoops add a lightly dramatic, fantasy-leaning character without becoming ornate. The result is friendly and expressive, suited to content that benefits from warmth and motion rather than strict neutrality.
Likely designed to provide a clean sans foundation with a hand-drawn, pen-tapered character—balancing readability with distinctive, decorative motion. The intent appears to be an informal, story-forward display face that remains versatile enough for general titling while retaining a recognizable personality.
The font maintains consistent color despite the tapered terminals, and the open apertures help it stay legible in short text. Some glyphs introduce distinctive gestures (notably in the uppercase and the curved digits), which adds personality but can draw attention in longer passages.
