A delicate, monoline serif with softly rounded curves and lightly flared, pin-like terminals that act as subtle serifs. Strokes keep an even weight with gentle wobble, creating an intentionally irregular, hand-drawn rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Counters are open and circular, bowls are generous, and joins stay smooth with minimal sharp corners. Spacing reads slightly loose and airy, helping the thin lines maintain clarity in continuous text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a light, charming voice is desired—children’s publishing, boutique packaging, invitations, and friendly brand identities. It can also work for headings or pull quotes where an airy, hand-rendered texture adds character without becoming overly ornate.
The overall tone is whimsical and personable, like neat pen lettering refined into a consistent typeface. Its small, quirky details and soft finishing convey friendliness and informality while still feeling orderly enough for straightforward reading.
The design appears intended to blend the approachability of handwritten lettering with the familiar structure of a serif, using minimal contrast and small terminal flourishes to add personality while preserving legibility.
Capitals are tall and clean with understated serif-like flicks, while lowercase forms lean toward simplified, single-storey constructions and rounded apertures. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic, keeping a cohesive texture alongside letters.
