A lively, hand-drawn print face with slender, condensed proportions and a noticeably tall x-height. Strokes show strong contrast, moving between hairline joins and heavier verticals, with a slightly inky, brushlike swell in places. Curves are rounded and open, terminals are often tapered or softly blunted, and shapes feel gently irregular in a controlled, consistent way. The rhythm is vertical-leaning and compact, while counters remain clear enough for short text despite the delicate thins.
Well-suited to display and short passages where a friendly, hand-rendered personality is desired—such as children’s titles, playful posters, boutique packaging, and greeting card copy. It can also work for brand accents and pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to protect its fine strokes.
The overall tone is cheerful and quirky, with a storybook charm that feels casual and personable. Its uneven, drawn-by-hand energy reads as warm and approachable rather than formal, adding character without becoming chaotic.
Designed to mimic informal hand lettering in a clean, unconnected print style, balancing legibility with charming irregularity. The condensed build and tall lowercase help pack in text while keeping a light, whimsical presence.
Capitals tend to be narrow and tall, giving headings a tidy footprint, while lowercase forms keep a buoyant baseline feel through subtle inconsistencies in stroke and curve. Numerals follow the same contrasty, drawn aesthetic and include a mix of rounded and angular gestures that reinforces the playful texture.
