A tall, slender handwritten print with a mostly monoline feel and occasional tapered joins that give a lightly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes are clean and crisp, with narrow proportions and generous vertical reach in letters like H, M, N, and the ascenders/descenders. Terminals tend to be sharp or softly flared, and several forms show subtle serif-like ticks and angled cuts (notably in E/F/L/T), while rounded letters (O/Q/C) stay airy and open. Overall spacing reads even, but the hand-drawn character introduces small, intentional irregularities that keep the texture lively rather than geometric.
Best suited to display settings where its thin strokes and tall proportions can be appreciated—headlines, titles, posters, book covers, and short pull quotes. It also works well for whimsical packaging or branding accents, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The tone is playful and slightly theatrical—reminiscent of hand-lettered titles, mid-century display lettering, or whimsical editorial headers. Its spindly elegance feels light on the page, with a charming, quirky personality that can read as vintage or storybook depending on context.
The design appears intended to provide an informal, hand-drawn alternative to condensed display faces, balancing airy elegance with playful quirks. Its narrow footprint suggests an aim to fit longer titles into tight spaces while still feeling expressive and human.
Distinctive narrow capitals and a noticeably small x-height emphasize verticality, making the font feel taller than its point size. Numerals match the same delicate construction and include curled, handwritten gestures (especially in 2, 3, 5, and 9), which reinforces the informal display character.
