A hand-drawn print face with brush-like strokes and slightly ragged edges that create a textured, ink-on-paper impression. Strokes show moderate contrast and frequent tapering, with pointed, flicked terminals and occasional bulb-like joins. Proportions are compact with a short x-height and lively, slightly uneven spacing that reinforces its handmade rhythm. Forms are mostly upright, but individual letters vary subtly in width and curvature, giving the alphabet a natural, non-mechanical consistency.
Best suited to display typography where texture and personality are desirable, such as book covers, poster headlines, packaging labels, and short quoted phrases. It can also work for themed invitations or editorial feature headings, but the irregular rhythm and short x-height make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is whimsical and story-driven, balancing charm with a slightly eerie, rustic edge. Its spiky flicks and irregular stroke endings suggest hand-rendered signage or illustrated titles rather than polished typography, making it feel playful, folkloric, and a bit dramatic.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing expressive stroke behavior and a handcrafted texture over geometric precision. It aims to deliver a distinctive, characterful voice for titles and branding moments that benefit from an illustrated, handmade feel.
Capitals are expressive and attention-grabbing, while the lowercase remains legible but intentionally irregular, with distinctive ascenders/descenders and occasional calligraphic swashes. Numerals follow the same brushed construction and tapering, pairing well with the letterforms in display settings.
