A wiry, hand-drawn roman with tall, condensed proportions and a visibly uneven stroke that alternates between thin hairlines and heavier, marker-like swells. Counters are open and simple, with gently irregular curves and occasional wobbles that suggest quick lettering rather than constructed geometry. Terminals tend to be blunt or softly tapered, and straight strokes often show subtle waviness, giving the set a lightly distressed, ink-on-paper texture. Overall spacing feels loose and organic, reinforcing the informal rhythm in text.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, book covers, packaging, and themed branding. It can work for headings and pull quotes in playful or rustic layouts, but the thin strokes and irregularities suggest avoiding very small sizes or dense body copy.
The font reads as casual and approachable, with a slightly quirky, storybook personality. Its imperfect edges and lively stroke movement add a human, crafted feel that can shift from whimsical to mildly spooky depending on context, making it well suited to themed display work.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, hand-lettered signage or sketchbook titling, combining condensed, high-reaching forms with subtle distress to create an expressive, characterful voice. It prioritizes charm and atmosphere over strict uniformity, aiming for a natural, human-made impression.
Uppercase forms are tall and airy with simplified structures, while lowercase remains compact and minimal, keeping a handwritten continuity across cases. Numerals match the narrow, tall stance and keep the same roughened stroke character for a consistent color in mixed content.
