A tall, condensed handwritten print style with sharp, tapering strokes and pronounced thick–thin shifts that feel like ink dragged from a flexible pen or brush. Letterforms are mostly upright with narrow internal spaces, asymmetrical curves, and occasional hooked terminals that create a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes often end in fine points, with small nicks and wavering contours that reinforce the drawn-by-hand character while remaining legible in text.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters more than neutrality—posters, book and album covers, festival or event flyers, packaging, and short editorial headings. It can work for brief body copy at comfortable sizes, but its condensed proportions and animated stroke endings favor titles, pull quotes, and brand accents.
The overall tone is quirky and storybook-like, mixing charm with a faintly spooky, offbeat edge. Its narrow, high-energy silhouettes and scratchy finishing give it a theatrical, mischievous personality that stands out quickly.
The design appears intended to capture an expressive, hand-drawn print voice in a compact footprint, using dramatic stroke contrast and pointed terminals to create immediate character. It aims for a distinctive, illustrated feel that reads as crafted and informal rather than typographically strict.
Capitals are especially tall and emphatic, while lowercase retains a simple printed construction rather than cursive connections. Numerals follow the same narrow, tapered logic, with distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic shapes that read as intentionally handmade rather than geometric.
