A stylized sans with sharply tapered strokes and frequent wedge-like terminals that create a spiky, cut-paper silhouette. Curves are drawn with a calligraphic sense of thick-to-thin, while many verticals and diagonals pinch toward the ends, producing crisp points and irregular counters. Proportions feel open and spacious, with noticeable width in rounded letters and a lively, uneven rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase shows distinctive, idiosyncratic constructions (notably in a, g, t, and y), and figures follow the same tapered, high-contrast logic for a cohesive overall texture.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where its distinctive tapered shapes can carry personality—posters, book covers, packaging, and brand marks for playful or fantastical themes. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers, but the lively rhythm may feel busy in long passages at smaller sizes.
The tone is playful and characterful, leaning toward a whimsical, storybook personality rather than a neutral utilitarian voice. Its sharp tapers and slightly mischievous forms suggest fantasy, seasonal, or theatrical associations, while still reading as a clean sans at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, expressive sans voice by combining clean, serifless skeletons with dramatic tapering and pointed terminals. The goal is a memorable display texture with a handcrafted, whimsical edge while maintaining recognizable letterforms.
Several glyphs use asymmetric stroke endings and pointed joins that add motion and a slightly hand-cut feel. The design favors display clarity over uniformity, so letterforms can appear intentionally varied in width and internal space, especially in mixed-case settings.
