A lively print face with hand-drawn irregularity and a calligraphic edge. Strokes feel brush-like with tapered terminals, occasional pointed wedges, and small, spiky serif-like flicks that give many letters a slightly gothic-leaning silhouette. Curves are softly swollen in places while joins and diagonals can turn sharp, creating a distinctive rhythm that alternates between rounded bowls and angular cuts. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and the lowercase shows expressive ascenders/descenders and a single-storey a and g that reinforce the informal, written character.
This font suits short-to-medium display settings where personality matters—headlines, titles, book covers, event posters, and packaging or branding that wants a handmade, slightly vintage flavor. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where a playful, storybook texture is desirable.
The overall tone is whimsical and slightly antique, suggesting a storybook or handmade poster sensibility rather than strict formality. Its sharp little flicks and lively stroke modulation add personality and a touch of theatricality, making the text feel animated and human.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive pen or brush lettering in a controlled, repeatable print form, combining readable letterforms with quirky, pointed terminals and varied widths to keep the texture lively. It prioritizes character and mood over strict typographic regularity.
The numerals follow the same drawn construction with prominent hooks and tapered endings, keeping the set cohesive for display use. In longer lines, the uneven stroke energy and distinctive terminals become a defining texture, giving words a handcrafted, illustrative presence.
