A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with lively rhythm and noticeable thick–thin modulation. Strokes are mostly smooth and monoline-like in feel at smaller sizes, but expand into sharper contrast at curves and joins, giving an inky, calligraphic texture. Terminals tend to be softly tapered or slightly flared rather than crisply geometric, and proportions vary pleasantly from glyph to glyph, creating an organic, human cadence. The uppercase is narrow and elongated, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls, long ascenders/descenders, and occasional playful hooks (notably in forms like g, j, y, and z). Numerals follow the same narrow, high-waisted silhouette with clear, simple counters.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its tall, narrow forms can add character without sacrificing legibility. It works well for headlines, poster titles, packaging accents, and editorial pull quotes, and can support playful branding or storybook-style cover typography. For long body text, it’s likely most effective in larger sizes with generous line spacing to preserve its airy counters and lively rhythm.
The overall tone is charming and informal, with a storybook warmth and a hint of eccentricity. Its narrow, tall posture feels a bit theatrical and vintage-leaning, while the hand-drawn irregularities keep it approachable and personal.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of hand-lettered print in a refined, consistent system: narrow, vertically oriented letterforms with expressive contrast and soft terminals. Its goal seems to be adding personality and a slightly theatrical, whimsical voice while remaining clear enough for prominent display use.
Counters remain open and readable despite the condensed build, and the font keeps a consistent vertical stress across letters and figures. The unevenness appears intentional—more about personality and rhythm than roughness—so it reads as curated hand lettering rather than distressed type.
