A tall, narrow, hand-drawn display face with a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline curves, with wedge-like, spiky terminals that read as informal serifs. Counters tend to be small and vertical, and curves are drawn with a loose, brush-pen feel rather than strict geometry. The alphabet mixes fairly structured capitals with more relaxed lowercase forms, producing a distinctive, characterful texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where personality is desired: posters, headlines, packaging labels, and book or chapter titles. It can also work for invitations or short pull quotes, especially when a playful, vintage-leaning handmade tone is appropriate. For longer passages, it reads most comfortably at larger sizes where the thin strokes and small counters remain clear.
The overall tone feels whimsical and theatrical, with a quirky vintage flavor. Its sharp terminals and bouncy proportions give it a mischievous, storybook personality that reads as expressive rather than formal. The contrast and tallness add a touch of drama while still staying friendly and handmade.
The design appears intended to mimic informal hand lettering with a controlled, calligraphic contrast—pairing tall, condensed proportions with spiky, decorative terminals to create instant character. It prioritizes charm and distinctive texture in display typography over neutral readability.
In the sample text, the narrow set and high contrast create a lively, striped color on the page, especially where tall ascenders and dense verticals cluster. The numerals and capitals maintain the same hand-inked logic, with elegant thin joins and occasional exaggerated strokes that emphasize individuality over strict uniformity.
