A lively hand-drawn print face with brush-like, tapered strokes and crisp thick-to-thin modulation. Letterforms are upright with gently irregular proportions, creating a natural, uneven rhythm typical of marker or pen lettering. Curves are soft and slightly squarish in places, terminals often flick or taper to points, and counters vary subtly from glyph to glyph. Capitals are expressive and varied in width, while the lowercase keeps a readable, open structure with distinctive single-story forms and occasional swashy tails.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display copy where a friendly handmade tone is desirable, such as posters, book covers, kids’ materials, craft packaging, café menus, and event invitations. It can also work for branding accents and pull quotes, especially at sizes where the tapering and texture remain clear.
The overall tone feels informal and imaginative, balancing readability with a charming, handmade personality. Its uneven stroke rhythm and pointed flicks add energy, giving it a lighthearted, storybook quality rather than a formal or technical voice.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with a brush or flexible pen: expressive, slightly irregular, and visually engaging while staying legible in common phrases and mixed-case text.
Several glyphs include decorative quirks—like star-like dots/accents and hooky descenders—that contribute to a crafted, illustrative feel. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with rounded bowls and tapered entries/exits that keep the set cohesive in display contexts.
