A playful, hand-drawn display face with mostly monoline strokes and softly rounded joins. Letters are built from simple, open forms and a steady upright stance, accented by curled entry/exit strokes and teardrop-like terminals that mimic pen flicks. Curves are generously rounded, counters stay open, and spacing feels loose and breathable, giving the text an informal rhythm while maintaining consistent proportions across the set.
Best suited for short to medium-length settings where its curly terminals and handcrafted rhythm can be appreciated—headlines, invitations, greeting cards, playful packaging, and children’s or educational materials. It can also work for quotes or section titles when a friendly, informal voice is desired.
The overall tone is warm and whimsical, with a storybook charm that feels inviting rather than strict or technical. The small curls and bouncy shapes add personality and a lightly decorative, handcrafted character without becoming ornate.
Designed to evoke a neat hand-lettered look with subtle calligraphic flicks, balancing approachability with a touch of formality. The restrained stroke weight and consistent construction suggest an intention to stay readable while still feeling personal and decorative.
Capitals show the most flourish, with gentle swashes and curled tips on strokes, while lowercase remains simpler and highly legible. Numerals keep the same hand-drawn logic, using rounded bowls and curved hooks that visually match the letterforms.
