A hand-drawn print face with tall, slim proportions and a subtly irregular baseline. Strokes show a dry-brush/marker texture with occasional tapering and small blobs at joins, giving the outlines a slightly rugged edge rather than clean vector smoothness. Curves are narrow and somewhat angular in places, and verticals dominate the rhythm, producing a lively, airy color on the page. Letterforms remain unconnected and fairly consistent, but with deliberate variation in stroke endings and width that reinforces the handmade feel.
Best suited to short to medium-length text where personality is the priority—headlines, display lines, posters, and packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in editorial or educational materials, especially alongside illustration, where the textured strokes and narrow rhythm help it stand out without feeling overly formal.
The tone is informal and characterful, with a quirky, storybook-like charm. Its slightly spiky terminals and brushy texture add energy and a touch of mischief, reading as friendly rather than refined. Overall it feels personal and craft-driven, like hand-lettering for a poster or illustrated title.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand-lettering with a narrow footprint, combining legibility with visible brush texture. Its controlled irregularity suggests a balance between consistency for setting text and enough variation to maintain a convincingly handmade voice.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and narrow, with simplified construction and expressive terminals; the lowercase keeps the same narrow stance and adds more pronounced texture in counters and joins. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic and remain legible while retaining the uneven, organic stroke behavior.
