A wiry, hand-drawn print style with slender strokes and visibly uneven contours, as if traced with a dry pen or fine brush. Forms are mostly upright with a tall, condensed stance, while stroke edges wobble and occasionally double back, creating a sketch-like texture. Bowls and counters are small and irregular, terminals often taper or hook, and many glyphs show slight left-right imbalance that reinforces the handmade rhythm. Overall spacing feels variable, with a loose, organic cadence rather than strict typographic regularity.
Best suited for display use where personality is the priority: headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and short pull quotes. It can also work for book covers or chapter titles where a handmade, illustrative voice is desired, but the irregular stroke texture suggests avoiding long body copy at small sizes.
The font reads playful and slightly mischievous, with a rough, improvised energy that feels personal and informal. Its scratchy texture and quirky proportions add a storybook or indie zine tone, suggesting something crafted quickly by hand rather than engineered for neutrality.
Likely designed to capture the look of quick hand-lettering with a slightly scratchy, sketched finish—prioritizing charm, spontaneity, and an imperfect human rhythm over strict consistency.
Capitals tend to be tall and attention-grabbing, while lowercase has a compact feel with simple, open constructions. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, with uneven curves and tapered strokes that keep the set visually consistent. The texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the jitter and doubled outlines register as intentional character.
