A hand-drawn print face with wiry, lightly brushed strokes and visibly irregular outlines. Letterforms are tall and generally narrow, with a slight backward slant and frequent stroke wobble that suggests a pen or brush moving quickly on paper. Terminals are blunt and sometimes hooked, with occasional sharp notches and small ink blobs at joins; curves are slightly flattened and asymmetrical, giving the alphabet a lively, imperfect rhythm. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, and the lowercase is compact with a relatively small x-height compared to the ascenders and capitals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where a handmade, characterful voice is desired—posters, chapter titles, book covers, packaging, and greeting cards. It can also work for pull quotes or labels, but the irregular rhythm and light strokes make it less ideal for dense body text or small UI sizes.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, like handwritten notes or quirky storybook lettering. Its uneven edges and jittery energy feel informal and human, leaning more mischievous than polished.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of quick hand lettering—imperfect, expressive strokes and variable widths that prioritize personality over typographic precision. It aims to deliver a friendly, quirky texture that stands out in display contexts.
Capitals read as simple, skeletal constructions with minimal flourish, while the lowercase introduces more personality through hooks and uneven bowls. Numerals share the same scratchy, hand-inked character and maintain legibility despite the irregular stroke behavior.
