A compact, narrow sans with a distinctly hand-drawn, calligraphic skeleton. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, but terminals are softly flared and often wedge-like, giving edges a subtly chiseled look. Curves are slightly irregular and organic, with gently asymmetrical bowls and a lively rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase is compact with a modest x-height and short extenders, while capitals remain simple and readable with softened joins and rounded turns.
Works well for short to medium-length display settings where its quirky, crafted texture can be appreciated—such as headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging, and brand marks for friendly or artisanal products. It can also suit children’s or editorial features that benefit from an informal, story-driven feel. For long passages, its narrow fit and textured rhythm are best used with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels warm and personable, with a playful, slightly whimsical character. Its irregularities read as intentional and crafted rather than mechanical, lending an approachable, storybook-like charm. It suggests casual creativity and a retro, handmade sensibility without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a sans-like base with a handmade, slightly calligraphic finish—prioritizing personality and warmth while keeping letterforms familiar and readable. The combination of narrow proportions and softened, wedge-like terminals aims for a distinctive voice that stands out in display typography without relying on overt ornament.
In text, the tight proportions and lively terminals create strong texture, especially in rounded letters and in diagonals where the stroke endings feel angled rather than blunt. Numerals match the same carved, informal tone and sit comfortably alongside letters, reinforcing the cohesive, handcrafted voice.
