A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with rounded strokes, modest tapering, and frequent looped terminals. Letterforms are slightly irregular in width and spacing, creating a lively rhythm while staying consistently upright and legible. Capitals feature gentle swashes and soft entry strokes, while many lowercase forms use single-storey structures and curved descenders, giving the face a buoyant, pen-written feel. Numerals follow the same drawn logic, with simple shapes and occasional hooked or curled endings.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings such as titles, greeting cards, invitations, boutique packaging, and whimsical branding. It can also work for pull quotes or small blocks of text when generous leading and tracking are used to preserve its airy, handwritten rhythm.
The overall tone is warm and storybook-like, combining a lightly formal calligraphic flavor with an approachable, playful personality. Its flourishes read as charming rather than ornate, making it feel handcrafted and nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver a personable, pen-crafted voice with light calligraphic flair, balancing decorative swashes with straightforward, readable skeletons for friendly display typography.
Stroke endings often finish with small curls or teardrop-like turns, and bowls tend toward oval shapes with open, friendly counters. The texture remains smooth and consistent, with just enough natural variation to suggest real handwriting without becoming messy.
