A casual, hand-drawn print style with tall, slender proportions and a lively, irregular rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and frequent tapering, with many terminals finishing in soft hooks or teardrop-like ends. Curves are slightly wobbly and organic rather than geometric, and letterforms vary in width and spacing in a way that reads like natural pen lettering. Counters are generally open and rounded, with occasional looped constructions in both uppercase and lowercase that add visual character.
Works best for short-to-medium text where personality is a priority—posters, headers, quotes, invitations, and craft or boutique packaging. The narrow, tall build helps in tight horizontal spaces for titles, while the handmade contrast and lively terminals make it most effective at display sizes rather than dense body copy.
The overall tone is cheerful and personable, with a quirky, storybook-like charm. Its uneven beat and expressive terminals feel conversational and human, giving text a light, informal energy rather than a polished corporate voice.
Designed to evoke the feel of quick, confident pen lettering—informal, expressive, and slightly whimsical—while staying readable as unconnected print. The goal appears to be a distinctive handwritten voice suitable for friendly branding and upbeat editorial display.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and distinctive, while lowercase maintains a modest x-height with prominent ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, airy texture. The numerals share the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and gently exaggerated curves that keep the set cohesive in display contexts.
