A hand-drawn, print-style alphabet with tall proportions, airy counters, and a visibly irregular stroke that varies between hairline-thin and slightly thicker downstrokes. Curves are softly rounded and often a bit asymmetrical, giving the letters a casual, sketched steadiness rather than geometric precision. Stems tend to be slender with gently flared or tapered ends, while bowls and rounds (C, O, e, g) are open and light, supporting an overall delicate texture. Spacing reads even in running text, but letter widths vary naturally, reinforcing the handmade rhythm.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—titles, pull quotes, packaging blurbs, invitations, and editorial display. It can also work for readable body copy at comfortable sizes when a casual, personal tone is more important than strict typographic formality.
The font conveys a light, personable tone—quirky without being messy. Its slight wobble and soft terminals suggest warmth and approachability, with a whimsical, storybook-like charm that feels informal and human.
The design appears intended to mimic neat hand lettering: informal printed forms with subtle stroke variation and small inconsistencies that add character while staying broadly legible. Its tall, slender build and soft terminals aim to keep pages feeling light and approachable, especially in playful or narrative contexts.
Uppercase forms are simple and legible with modest personality (notably in curved letters like G and S), while the lowercase introduces more distinctive, loopy gestures (such as the single-storey a and open e). Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with rounded shapes and gentle stroke modulation that keep them consistent with the letters.
