A compact, hand-drawn print style with narrow proportions and a lively, irregular rhythm. Strokes feel brush- or marker-made, with tapered ends, slight wobble, and occasional sharp, flared terminals that create a subtly jagged silhouette. Curves are pinched and asymmetrical rather than geometric, while counters stay relatively open for the size. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a natural, handmade texture across both uppercase and lowercase, with a small-looking lowercase set relative to the caps.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where a handmade, expressive voice is desirable—posters, headlines, playful packaging, and title treatments. It can work for brief passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and leading, letting the irregular stroke texture remain clear.
The overall tone is playful and characterful, with a slightly spooky or mischievous edge created by the pointed terminals and uneven contours. It reads like casual display lettering—friendly and informal, but with enough bite to feel quirky and distinctive.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush print while staying legible and consistent enough for repeatable digital use. The narrow build and animated terminals emphasize personality and energy over strict uniformity, making it ideal for informal, character-driven typography.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest personality, with uneven verticals and wedge-like details that add motion. Lowercase remains simple and readable, though its irregularity becomes more apparent in longer text. Numerals follow the same hand-inked logic, mixing rounded shapes with sharp, tapered joins for a consistent voice.
