A hand-drawn print face with slim strokes and gently uneven contours that mimic pen-drawn letterforms. Stems are mostly straight but show subtle wobble and soft terminal shaping, with occasional flared or hooked ends. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) are slightly squashed and asymmetrical, while verticals (I, l, t) stay simple and airy, contributing to an open, lightly textured color on the page. The lowercase shows a notably small x-height with tall ascenders and descenders, and the overall rhythm varies slightly from glyph to glyph in a deliberately informal way.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a personable, hand-rendered voice is desired—such as book covers, children’s or educational materials, artisanal packaging, labels, posters, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headings where a friendly, informal emphasis is needed.
The tone is approachable and playful, with a mild old-fashioned, storybook charm. Its imperfect, human cadence reads as personal and crafty rather than polished or corporate, lending warmth and character to short messages and headings.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of neat, hand-printed lettering: legible and structured, but intentionally imperfect. Its narrow proportions and small lowercase body suggest an aim for economy of space while preserving a whimsical, hand-drawn personality.
Capitals feel gently narrow and columnar, while lowercase widths vary more, creating a lively, uneven rhythm in running text. Numerals are simple and hand-shaped with curved spines and modest contrast, matching the letterforms without becoming overly decorative.
