A lively, hand-drawn print face with narrow proportions and gently irregular widths from letter to letter. Strokes show a brush-pen feel with moderate thick–thin modulation, soft terminals, and occasional tapered entries and exits. Curves are rounded and slightly asymmetrical, while verticals can lean subtly in their own rhythm without breaking an overall upright posture. Spacing is open and a bit uneven in a natural way, and the lowercase features a relatively small x-height with prominent ascenders and descenders for an airy, legible texture at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short passages, and branding moments where an informal handmade tone is an asset—such as posters, packaging, labels, and children’s or educational materials. It can also work for invitations and greeting cards, especially when paired with a simpler companion for longer reading.
The tone is playful and storybook-like, evoking casual signage, children’s publishing, and handmade craft lettering. Its quirky rhythm and soft, inky shapes feel personable and warm rather than formal or mechanical, suggesting an expressive voice suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of quick brush lettering in a tidy, unconnected print style, balancing legibility with personality. Its narrow build and animated stroke modulation aim to deliver a distinctive display voice that feels crafted and approachable.
Capitals have a decorative, slightly calligraphic presence with distinctive bowl and spur shapes, giving headings extra character. The numerals echo the same drawn rhythm, with rounded forms and varied stroke endings that keep them consistent with the letterforms in mixed text.
