A hand-drawn print face with irregular, inked strokes and visibly uneven contours. Letterforms show high stroke contrast with tapered terminals and occasional blot-like swelling, suggesting a brush or pen dragged over textured paper. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with a slightly narrow, upright stance and a compact lowercase that reads as short in x-height relative to the ascenders. Curves are lumpy and organic rather than geometric, and counters often appear slightly off-center, reinforcing the handmade rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where texture is a feature: book covers, editorial headlines, posters, labels, and themed packaging. It can work for short-to-medium passages when a handcrafted, aged tone is desired, but will be most impactful at larger sizes where the stroke modulation and rough edges remain clear.
The overall tone feels vintage and tactile, like lettering from an old pamphlet or hand-inked sign. Its rough edges and inky modulation can read whimsical in short phrases, but also lends a mildly eerie, folkloric character when used at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to emulate informal hand-inked lettering with a worn, analog finish. By combining calligraphic contrast with imperfect outlines and varied widths, it prioritizes character and atmosphere over strict regularity.
Spacing appears intentionally irregular, with a lively baseline and varied sidebearings that create a textured color in text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same ink-worn personality as the lowercase, keeping the set cohesive while preserving deliberate imperfections.
