A tall, slim handwritten print with delicate, tapering strokes and subtle contrast that suggests a pointed pen or fine brush. The letterforms are mostly unconnected and upright, with narrow proportions, generous vertical emphasis, and softly rounded terminals. Curves are slightly elastic and irregular in a controlled way, giving the alphabet an even rhythm without feeling mechanical. Numerals match the same slender, wiry construction and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Best suited to headlines, short blurbs, and display text where its slender handmade character can read clearly and add personality. It works well for posters, book covers, packaging accents, invitations, and whimsical branding, especially when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is light and whimsical, with a gentle storybook charm. Its narrow, spidery lines and subtly quirky shapes feel personable and informal, evoking notes, captions, and playful display messaging rather than strict editorial formality.
The design appears intended to provide a refined, hand-drawn print voice that feels elegant yet informal—narrow, vertical, and slightly idiosyncratic for expressive titles and decorative copy.
Distinctive details include the high, thin crossbars and a general tendency toward elongated bowls and loops, which contributes to the font’s airy texture. The condensed structure can make counters feel tight at smaller sizes, while the fine strokes and open spacing help maintain clarity in short phrases.
