A tall, tightly set display face with noticeably condensed proportions and high-contrast strokes. Forms read as pen-drawn with a slightly irregular rhythm: straight stems are slender, curves swell into small bulges, and terminals taper into fine points or short hairlines. The overall construction is upright and clean but intentionally uneven in places, with narrow counters and a compact x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow footprint, while numerals and punctuation keep the same wiry, calligraphic texture.
Best suited to short, expressive text such as headlines, posters, titles, and branding moments where a quirky handwritten print voice is desired. It can also work for book covers, invitations, or packaging accents, especially when used with generous spacing and at display sizes.
The tone is playful and idiosyncratic, suggesting hand-made lettering with a lightly theatrical, storybook feel. Its sharp tapers and inky thick–thin contrast add a hint of vintage charm and eccentricity, making text feel animated rather than strictly formal.
The font appears designed to capture the personality of informal hand lettering while maintaining a consistent, repeatable typographic system. Its condensed proportions and dramatic contrast prioritize character and vertical elegance over neutral readability, aiming for a distinctive display voice.
The design relies on thin connecting hairlines and pointed terminals, so it reads most clearly at larger sizes where the delicate strokes and tight interior spaces can stay open. The narrow set and tall vertical emphasis create a distinctive column-like texture in lines of text.
