A wiry, monoline handwritten print with tall ascenders and compact lowercase that reads as intentionally uneven and hand-drawn. Strokes are thin with occasional pressure-like thickening and tapered ends, producing a slightly scratchy texture. Letterforms lean toward narrow, vertical proportions with variable widths and irregular curves; counters are small and shapes often feel angular or pinched. Spacing is loose and inconsistent in a natural way, giving text an animated rhythm rather than a typographic grid feel.
Works best for short to medium display text where a handmade, characterful voice is desired—posters, titles, comic-style captions, zines, and playful packaging. It can also add an informal, personal tone to invites or social graphics, but the irregular spacing and tight interior shapes make it less suited to long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is quirky and mischievous, like quick marker notes or hand-lettered captions. Its spiky terminals and jumpy rhythm add energy and a slightly eerie, comic edge that can feel whimsical or a bit chaotic depending on setting.
Likely drawn to capture the immediacy of quick hand lettering—tall, narrow forms with imperfect repetition and expressive terminals that emphasize personality. The design prioritizes an organic, spontaneous look over typographic precision, aiming for an informal display voice.
Capitals are tall and attention-grabbing, while the lowercase stays smaller, creating strong case contrast in mixed text. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with simple, slightly irregular constructions that prioritize personality over strict uniformity.
