A wiry, hand-rendered sans with tapered strokes and needle-like terminals that create a lightly calligraphic texture. Curves are open and generously rounded, while joins and ends often sharpen into small points, giving counters a lively, slightly irregular edge. Proportions are mixed and humanist in feel—round letters read wide and buoyant, while verticals can become narrow and reed-like—producing a subtly uneven, natural rhythm across words. Numerals follow the same drawn construction, with simple silhouettes and occasional flicked endings that keep the set cohesive.
This face suits short to medium-length display settings where its tapered strokes and spiky terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or game covers, and packaging. It can also add personality to branding elements such as logos, labels, and pull quotes, especially when a handmade, whimsical voice is desired.
The tone is playful and offbeat, combining a friendly openness with a faintly mysterious, storybook sharpness. Its spiky finishes and casual construction suggest handmade lettering rather than engineered neutrality, making the overall voice expressive and characterful without becoming heavy or aggressive.
The design intention reads as a casual, hand-lettered sans meant to inject personality and motion into text. By mixing rounded forms with sharpened terminals and slight irregularity, it aims to feel human and expressive while still functioning as a coherent alphabet for display typography.
Spacing appears loose and breathable in text, and the font’s pointed terminals are most noticeable at larger sizes where the flicks and tapers become part of the personality. The uppercase set feels display-forward, while the lowercase maintains a readable, informal flow with distinctive ascenders and descenders.
