A hand-drawn print face with slightly uneven strokes and subtly ragged edges that suggest ink on absorbent paper. Letterforms are mostly upright with a narrow overall stance, but widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, creating an irregular rhythm. Strokes show modest contrast and occasional swelling at turns, with simple, minimally finished terminals. Counters are small and a bit uneven, and the short x-height paired with tall ascenders gives the lowercase a compact, old-style proportion.
Well suited for display and short-to-medium text where a handmade, informal voice is desired—such as children’s publishing, artisanal packaging, craft labels, invitations, and posters. It can also add personality to pull quotes or headings in editorial layouts, especially where a slightly rough, analog texture is beneficial.
The overall tone is casual and human, with a rustic, storybook warmth. Its mild wobble and imperfect edges read as approachable and craft-like rather than formal or technical, lending a gentle, slightly quirky personality.
Likely intended to mimic casual hand lettering with a print-like structure—capturing the charm of imperfect inked strokes while remaining readable in continuous text. The design prioritizes warmth and individuality over strict uniformity, using natural variation to create an organic page color.
Uppercase forms feel hand-lettered and slightly angular, while the lowercase keeps rounder bowls and compact bodies, producing a lively mixed-text texture. Numerals follow the same drawn logic, with idiosyncratic curves and varying widths that reinforce the handmade impression.
