A hand-drawn, monoline display face with tall, slender proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness, with gentle wobble and tapered terminals that feel pen-drawn rather than constructed. Capitals are expressive and often loopy, with occasional long entry/exit strokes and soft, rounded curves; lowercase shifts to a denser, more compact texture with blobby counters and simplified shapes. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, contributing to an organic, lightly irregular color on the line.
Best suited to short, expressive text such as headlines, titles, posters, invitations, and packaging where personality is more important than strict uniformity. It can also work for pull quotes or branding accents, especially when paired with a calmer companion text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is playful and slightly eccentric, like lettering from a children’s book or an offbeat indie poster. Its mix of airy, swashy capitals and chunky lowercase creates a mischievous, handmade charm that feels friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a slightly theatrical uppercase set and a sturdier, simplified lowercase for contrast. The goal seems to be an approachable, characterful display look that feels personal and crafted rather than typographically rigid.
The font reads best when you can lean into its inconsistencies: the contrast between ornate uppercase forms and heavier, simplified lowercase is a defining feature. Numerals and punctuation follow the same casual, hand-rendered logic, supporting an informal, illustrative voice.
