A lively hand-drawn roman with gently flared, brush-like stroke endings and soft, wedgey serifs. Strokes show subtle modulation and slightly uneven joins that create a natural written rhythm without breaking into true cursive. Curves are open and rounded, counters stay generous, and terminals often finish with a small taper or flick. Proportions vary a bit from glyph to glyph, with a comfortable, readable structure in both cases and numerals that keep the same informal, inked character.
Well suited for short-to-medium text where a personable, handcrafted voice is desired—such as children’s and educational materials, café or boutique branding, packaging copy, invitations, greeting cards, and display lines in posters. It can also work for pull quotes or headings that benefit from an informal serif-like flavor without looking formal.
The overall tone feels warm and approachable, with a storybook charm and a lightly quirky personality. Its imperfect, humanized outlines read as crafted and conversational rather than technical or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the readability of a simple roman while preserving the spontaneity of hand lettering. It balances clear letter structures with brushed terminals and mild irregularities to deliver a friendly, narrative-forward texture in print.
The face keeps a consistent hand-rendered texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with especially expressive diagonals and curved letters. Spacing appears relaxed and the letterforms favor clarity over strict geometric regularity, supporting an informal, narrative feel.
