A hand-drawn print face with slim, mostly monoline strokes and gently flared terminals that mimic a pen lifting off the page. Forms are narrow and slightly irregular, with rounded bowls and occasional asymmetrical joins that create an organic rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency. Curves are soft and open, counters stay clear at text sizes, and proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the drawn-by-hand character. Numerals follow the same light, lively construction, with simple shapes and a few expressive hooks and curves.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a personable, informal voice is desired—headlines, pull quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and packaging copy. It can also work for children’s or lifestyle-oriented book covers and editorial display settings where a light, hand-rendered feel supports the message without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone feels friendly and whimsical, with a lightly eccentric rhythm that reads as personal and approachable. Its unevenness suggests spontaneity and warmth, leaning toward a storybook or crafty sensibility rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to emulate neat hand lettering with just enough irregularity to feel human, balancing readability with playful character. Flared terminals and slender proportions provide a distinctive signature while keeping shapes open and approachable.
Uppercase and lowercase are clearly differentiated, with tall, slender capitals and a lowercase set that keeps counters open and legible. The design relies on terminal flair and gentle stroke wobble for personality instead of heavy texture, so it stays airy on the page while still feeling expressive.
