A delicate, monoline display face with tall, narrow strokes and generous horizontal spacing that gives the alphabet a floaty, open rhythm. Many characters sit on extended baseline strokes that read like underlines, often with slight curves and little flicks at the terminals. Bowls and loops are simple and open, with occasional asymmetry and idiosyncratic joins that create a lightly irregular, hand-drawn feel while staying largely upright and legible at display sizes.
Best suited for short display copy where its baseline swashes and quirky letterforms can be appreciated—posters, titles, book or zine covers, playful branding, packaging, and event invitations. It can also work for stylized pull quotes or captions when ample size and tracking prevent the thin strokes and underline-like bases from visually merging.
The overall tone is lighthearted and oddball, with a sketched, improvisational charm. The underline-like bases and wiry strokes make it feel mischievous and a bit theatrical—more like a personal doodle or playful signage than formal typography.
The design appears intended to turn text into a graphic gesture: slender, upright forms anchored by expressive baseline strokes that inject motion and personality. It prioritizes novelty and character over typographic neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, one-off voice in display applications.
The strong reliance on baseline extensions becomes a dominant texture in lines of text, creating a continuous, wavy underline effect across words. In mixed-case settings, the contrast between simple uppercase geometry and more characterful lowercase loops adds to the eccentric rhythm, while the thin strokes suggest avoiding very small sizes or busy backgrounds.
