A hand-drawn serif with lightly calligraphic construction and gently flared stroke endings. Strokes show subtle modulation and tapered terminals that create a brushed, pen-made feel rather than rigid, carved forms. Capitals are compact and slightly idiosyncratic with softened corners and occasional wedge-like serifs, while the lowercase is more cursive in spirit, mixing simple printed shapes with handwritten joins and looped ascenders/descenders. Spacing is a bit irregular in an intentional way, giving lines a lively rhythm and an uneven, natural texture at text sizes.
This font suits display and short-to-medium text where a handcrafted voice is desirable, such as children’s publishing, café or artisan packaging, event invitations, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for posters and chapter titles where a slightly old-fashioned, whimsical serif feel supports the message.
The overall tone is friendly and story-like, balancing a classic serif presence with informal, human warmth. Its slight bounce, tapered strokes, and quirky proportions read as personal and expressive, suggesting craft, folklore, and lighthearted narration rather than corporate precision.
The design appears intended to translate the charm of hand-lettered serif writing into a consistent, usable typeface. It emphasizes warmth, narrative character, and an organic line quality, aiming for readability while preserving the small irregular cues that make it feel made by hand.
The sample text shows good differentiation between capitals and lowercase, with noticeable personality in letters like J, Q, g, and y. Numerals follow the same drawn logic, with rounded forms and occasional angled terminals that help them blend with the alphabet. The texture remains coherent across longer passages, though the irregularities are part of the design’s character and will be most noticeable in tight settings.
