A tall, condensed text face with a hand-drawn, pen-like construction and slightly wavering strokes. Letters are narrow with long ascenders and descenders, and the stroke endings often taper into fine points, creating a spidery silhouette. Counters are small and vertical, curves are gently asymmetrical, and overall spacing feels uneven in an intentional, lively way. Uppercase forms read as slim and columnar, while the lowercase shows simplified, narrow shapes with a modest x-height and noticeable vertical rhythm; figures are similarly slim and high-contrast in feel due to tapered terminals.
Best suited to display applications where its tall, condensed rhythm can be appreciated—posters, book covers, event titles, packaging labels, and short brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or headings where a playful, handcrafted tone is desired, but it is less optimized for dense body copy due to its narrow proportions and fine terminals.
The font conveys a quirky, storybook tone with a lightly theatrical, old-time flavor. Its narrow, elongated forms feel animated and expressive, suggesting a handmade sign or illustrated lettering rather than neutral typography. The overall mood is friendly and whimsical, with just enough eccentricity to feel characterful.
The design appears intended to emulate informal, hand-rendered lettering with a narrow, elongated profile and expressive tapering. It prioritizes character and vertical elegance over strict geometric regularity, aiming to add charm and narrative personality to headings and titles.
The design relies on pronounced verticality and tapered terminals for personality, which gives it strong presence at display sizes but a delicate texture in smaller settings. The irregularities in stroke thickness and spacing contribute to an organic, drawn look and a slightly jittery rhythm across lines of text.
