A slender, hand-drawn print style with lightly tapered strokes and small, pointed terminals that give many letters a subtly spiky finish. Curves are narrow and slightly irregular, and verticals tend to feel elongated, creating an airy texture with lots of white space. The rhythm is lively rather than mechanical, with gentle inconsistencies in stroke endings and joins that read as drawn rather than constructed. Numerals and capitals follow the same tapered, slightly angular logic, keeping the overall color light and crisp.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where its hand-rendered texture and pointed terminals can be appreciated—such as titles, posters, book covers, packaging, and themed branding. It can work for pull quotes or brief passages when you want an illustrative, authored feel, but its distinctive terminals will be most effective when given space.
The face conveys a playful, storybook tone—charming and a little mischievous—like lettering from a fantasy map, potion label, or illustrated chapter heading. Its pointed terminals add a hint of gothic or magical flavor without becoming heavy or severe.
The design appears intended to mimic informal pen-and-ink lettering with a controlled, decorative edge—balancing readability with expressive, slightly fantastical details. The consistent narrow structure suggests a desire for a cohesive, typographic system while preserving the lively irregularity of hand-made forms.
In longer text, the narrow forms and high vertical emphasis create a distinctive, slightly dramatic cadence. The most characterful moments come from the sharp hooks and wedge-like endings, which can become a defining texture at display sizes.
