A tall, spindly hand-drawn design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lightly irregular stroke rhythm. Forms are narrow and vertically oriented, with tapered terminals, occasional hairline cross-strokes, and slight wobble that reads as pen-and-ink rather than geometric construction. Counters are small and often teardrop-like, curves feel elastic, and widths vary noticeably between letters, creating an animated texture in text. Lowercase letters sit on a modest x-height with long ascenders and descenders that add a lanky silhouette.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where personality is the priority—headlines, posters, packaging, book covers, invitations, and greeting cards. It can also work for playful pull quotes or section headers, especially when paired with a calmer body text face.
The overall tone is playful and slightly eccentric, like quick lettering made with a flexible dip pen. Its unevenness and springy curves give it a friendly, storybook energy that feels informal and characterful rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of informal pen lettering—tall, narrow, and expressive—while remaining readable enough for lively display typography. The variable widths and tapered details suggest an aim to create motion and character across words rather than strict uniformity.
In running text, the narrow proportions and high contrast create a striped color on the line, with strong vertical emphasis from stems and tall capitals. The numerals and punctuation carry the same handwritten quirks, helping maintain a consistent voice in display settings.
