A lively hand-drawn roman with softly flared, brush-like terminals and subtly uneven stroke edges that preserve a handmade texture. Letterforms lean on simple, rounded geometry with occasional wedge-like serifs and slightly irregular curves, creating a gently “bouncy” rhythm along the baseline and cap line. Counters are generally open and generous, while ascenders and capitals feel tall and prominent compared to the compact lowercase. Numerals echo the same casual, slightly wavy construction and maintain strong, dark silhouettes.
Best suited to short- to medium-length display settings where personality is the goal—headlines, posters, book covers, product packaging, greeting cards, and playful branding. It can work for short callouts or captions when set with comfortable spacing, but its lively texture is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a whimsical, storybook character that feels more human than mechanical. Its irregularities read as intentional and warm, adding charm and personality rather than strict formality.
Likely designed to capture a casual calligraphic feel in an easy-to-set, legible alphabet—combining brushy terminals and mild irregularity to convey warmth, charm, and handcrafted authenticity in display typography.
Capitals are expressive and attention-grabbing, with noticeable individuality across shapes (e.g., the curved bowls and occasional spur-like endings). The lowercase maintains readability but prioritizes character over strict consistency, with rounded joins and lightly tapered strokes that suggest a marker or brush pen.
