A narrow, hand-drawn print face with wiry strokes and frequent tapering that creates sharp, pen-like terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright with lively baseline movement and slightly uneven stroke edges, giving a human, sketched consistency rather than mechanical uniformity. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, and curves (C, G, S, O) show a pinched, calligraphic tension. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with variable character widths and occasional top-heavy shapes in capitals.
Best suited for short to medium text where personality is desired—headlines, posters, book covers, and expressive packaging. It can work for brief UI labels or captions at larger sizes, but its narrow proportions and spiky detailing favor display use over long-form reading.
The font reads as playful and slightly spooky-cute, with a quirky, storybook energy. Its pointy terminals and narrow stance lend a mischievous, theatrical tone, while the hand-rendered irregularities keep it friendly and informal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick hand-inking with a brush or flexible pen, emphasizing characterful silhouettes and animated rhythm. Its narrow build and tapered strokes seem crafted to deliver high personality in limited space while keeping letters recognizable.
Capitals are tall and stylized, often with pronounced wedges and hooked strokes, creating strong headline personality. Lowercase maintains legibility but leans into idiosyncratic forms (notably the narrow i/j and the lively curves of g/y), and numerals follow the same tapered, hand-inked logic for a cohesive set.
