A wiry, hand-drawn sans with narrow proportions and an intentionally irregular rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear but show subtle wobble and tapering, with sharp wedge-like terminals that create a slightly spiky silhouette. Curves are somewhat pinched and asymmetrical, and straight stems often lean or kink slightly, giving letters a lively, imperfect texture. Counters are compact and the overall spacing feels loose and uneven in a deliberate, organic way, with modest descenders and a clean, open lowercase.
Best suited to short headlines, posters, and cover titling where its handmade texture can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for playful branding elements and packaging callouts, but the irregular rhythm is less ideal for dense body text or small UI labels.
The tone is informal and quirky, like quick marker lettering or a stylized doodle. Its unevenness reads friendly and human rather than technical, lending a mischievous, storybook flavor that suits expressive display settings.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, human lettering while staying broadly sans in structure, trading strict consistency for character. The narrow build and sharp terminals emphasize a lively, illustrative presence for display typography.
Capitals are tall and slender with simplified construction, while the lowercase introduces more personality through hooked strokes and quirky joins. Numerals keep the same narrow, hand-rendered character, with angular turns and a slightly unstable baseline that reinforces the handmade feel.
