A lively, calligraphic sans with pronounced stroke modulation and sharply tapered joins that create wedge-like terminals. The letterforms lean on geometric cores—round bowls and simple constructions—then break the regularity with slightly irregular widths, angled cuts, and pointed entry/exit strokes. Curves often finish in thin hairline flicks, while verticals stay comparatively firm, producing a crisp, high-energy texture. Spacing feels airy and the baseline rhythm is consistent, but the outlines retain a deliberately hand-drawn unevenness that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short text, and display settings where its angular tapering and stroke contrast can be appreciated. It works well for packaging, branding, event posters, and book or game covers that benefit from a whimsical, handcrafted voice. For long passages, it’s likely most effective when used sparingly for emphasis or section titles.
The tone is playful and slightly theatrical, like handwritten signage refined into a type system. Its sharp flicks and flared terminals add a mischievous, magical feel, while the clean overall construction keeps it legible and modern. The result sits comfortably between quirky poster lettering and storybook titling.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-cut, calligraphic energy within a clean sans framework, balancing readability with expressive terminals and varied rhythm. It aims to provide a distinctive display face that feels crafted and characterful rather than strictly neutral.
Uppercase forms show confident, stylized silhouettes with pointed apexes and occasional unexpected angles, while lowercase maintains simpler shapes with distinctive hooks and tapering tails. Numerals echo the same contrast and tapering, giving figures a decorative, animated presence without becoming overly ornate.
