A hand-drawn print face with gently irregular rhythm and subtly calligraphic construction. Strokes show soft pen-like modulation and tapered terminals, with small flared, serif-like endings that give many letters a slightly classical silhouette without becoming formal. Curves are rounded and open, counters are generous, and proportions vary naturally from glyph to glyph, producing a lively texture. The lowercase is compact with modest ascenders and descenders, while capitals feel taller and more sculpted, contributing to an animated mixed-case color in text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a handcrafted, narrative feel is desirable—such as book covers and chapter titles, children’s materials, posters, greeting cards, invitations, and artisanal packaging. It can also add a friendly, personal voice to branding headlines and pull quotes when paired with a simpler text face.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a lightly old-world, storybook charm. Its informal steadiness reads as human and approachable rather than polished or mechanical, making it feel conversational and expressive.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of neat hand lettering while keeping a consistent, readable structure for continuous settings. By blending informal drawn strokes with subtle flared terminals, it aims to feel classic and approachable at the same time.
In longer passages the alternating stroke taper and the small flares at terminals create a gentle, rhythmic sparkle that stays legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same drawn cadence, with rounded forms and distinctive, slightly angled stress that matches the letters.
