A lively, hand-drawn calligraphic serif with gently irregular contours and subtly tapered strokes that suggest a brush or pen. Serifs are soft and flared rather than sharply bracketed, and many terminals finish with slight hooks or teardrop-like ends. Round letters are open and slightly squashed, while verticals show small variations in thickness that create a natural, human rhythm. Uppercase forms feel slightly condensed and classical in silhouette, while the lowercase is more relaxed with tall ascenders, compact bowls, and simple, readable shapes; figures are similarly casual and a bit uneven for a handmade texture.
This face works well where a handcrafted, personable tone is desirable—book covers, children’s or family-oriented materials, artisanal packaging, café menus, posters, and brand accents. It’s especially effective for titles, pull quotes, and short passages where its textured rhythm can be appreciated without overwhelming the page.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a storybook charm and a lightly rustic, handcrafted character. Its unevenness reads as intentional and expressive rather than messy, giving text a friendly, approachable voice with a hint of old-world flair.
The design appears intended to blend formal calligraphic cues (flared serifs and gentle contrast) with the spontaneity of hand lettering, creating an expressive but readable option for characterful display typography.
Spacing appears comfortably loose in running text, helping the irregular stroke edges and flared serifs stay legible. The design maintains consistent handwriting energy across caps, lowercase, and numerals, making it feel cohesive for display and short text settings.
