A hand-drawn print face with softly modulated strokes and gently irregular outlines that mimic marker or brush-pen pressure. Letterforms are rounded and slightly loopy, with small flared terminals and occasional serif-like hooks that add a calligraphic touch. Proportions are lively and inconsistent by design—some glyphs sit wider or narrower, and curves often swell into teardrop-like joins—creating an organic rhythm. The lowercase is compact with a relatively short x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders, while capitals are open and airy with smooth, sweeping curves and a slightly uneven baseline feel.
Best suited for short to medium text where a personable, hand-lettered character is desired—titles, pull quotes, invitations, labels, and playful brand touchpoints. It can work in body text at comfortable sizes, especially when the goal is a relaxed, story-like reading experience rather than strict typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is warm, informal, and lightly mischievous, like hand-lettering for a children’s book or a quirky café chalkboard. Its irregularity reads as human and approachable rather than strict or technical, giving text a conversational, personal voice.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of neat handwriting while maintaining enough consistency for repeated use in setting text. It balances legibility with expressive, slightly calligraphic gestures to deliver a handcrafted look without connected script.
Distinctive details include looped and hooked terminals, rounded bowls, and a noticeably expressive ‘g’ and ‘y’ with flowing descenders. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with simple shapes and soft curves that prioritize charm over geometric uniformity.
