A hand-drawn print face with brush-like strokes and visible texture, producing slightly rough edges and tapered terminals. Letterforms are upright with informal, uneven rhythm and subtly inconsistent stroke joins, creating a lively, human cadence. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with rounded bowls, open counters, and a modestly sized lowercase that reads compact against the capitals. Numerals and punctuation follow the same casual, inked construction, with gentle wobble and small asymmetries that keep the line from feeling mechanically set.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, book covers, and packaging where a handmade feel is desired. It can work for short passages in greeting cards, invitations, or editorial pull quotes, particularly when set with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing to let the texture breathe.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, storybook-like character. Its imperfect, ink-on-paper feel suggests spontaneity and craft, giving text a personable, conversational voice rather than a polished corporate one.
The design appears intended to emulate casual hand-lettered print made with a brush pen or ink marker—prioritizing character and a tactile, drawn surface over strict uniformity. Its forms aim to feel friendly and crafted, offering an informal alternative to conventional text serifs or sans serifs.
In paragraph settings the irregular spacing and textured stroke edges become a prominent part of the color, adding charm but also creating a slightly restless texture at smaller sizes. The capitals are expressive and varied, making them especially effective for short bursts of text where personality is an asset.
