A narrow, hand-drawn display face with a lively, uneven rhythm and gently tapered strokes. Letterforms show subtle swelling through curves and clear entry/exit strokes that create a lightly calligraphic feel without connecting. Terminals often finish in small hooks, teardrops, and spurs, giving many glyphs a slightly flared, inked look. Proportions are tall and compact, with rounded bowls kept tight and verticals that lean toward a smooth, drawn line rather than rigid geometry.
Best suited to short display settings such as headlines, posters, book or chapter titles, invitations, and packaging where its narrow footprint and quirky details can be appreciated. It can also work for branding accents or pull quotes, but the distinctive terminals and lively irregularity are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is whimsical and storybook-like, with a friendly, slightly old-fashioned charm. Its bouncy spacing and decorative terminals feel playful and expressive, suggesting hand-lettered signage or illustrative titling rather than formal text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable hand-lettered print look with decorative, calligraphic cues—prioritizing personality and charm over strict regularity for eye-catching display typography.
Capitals are especially characterful, mixing simple forms with occasional flourishes and asymmetries that reinforce an informal, handmade personality. Numerals follow the same narrow, drawn style and include curved hooks and soft modulation, keeping the set cohesive.
