A hand-drawn, high-contrast serif with brush-like stroke modulation and softly irregular contours. Letterforms show tapered entries and exits, rounded terminals, and occasional flared strokes that suggest a pen or brush rather than rigid construction. Proportions are lively and slightly variable, with a modest x-height, open counters, and a rhythm that alternates between broad curves (C, O, S) and narrow, vertical emphasis in stems (I, l, h). Numerals and capitals carry the same organic, slightly uneven baseline feel, preserving a cohesive, handmade texture in both display and text settings.
This font is well-suited to short-to-medium text where personality is desirable: headlines, pull quotes, book or chapter titles, packaging copy, and invitation or greeting-card work. It can also support readable paragraphs when set with comfortable size and spacing, especially in editorial or literary contexts that benefit from a handmade, characterful tone.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a whimsical, storybook charm. Its gentle irregularities and calligraphic contrast read as informal and human, lending an expressive, friendly voice that feels crafted rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of informal hand lettering while retaining the familiar structure of a serif text face. By combining legible proportions with lively stroke contrast and subtle irregularity, it aims to provide an expressive alternative to conventional serif typography for display and friendly editorial use.
Distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic details—like the simplified, sweeping diagonals in letters such as k, x, and y, and the soft, bracket-like transitions into serifs—create a decorative flavor without becoming overly ornate. The contrast and narrow joins can look especially dramatic at larger sizes, where the brush-like modulation becomes a key part of the texture.
