A tall, tightly set handwritten print with narrow proportions and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show dramatic thick–thin behavior: many letters have a bold, brushy vertical spine paired with hairline counters, joins, and terminals. Curves are slightly irregular and organic, with tapered ends and occasional hook-like terminals; round letters (O, Q, o, e) feel stretched vertically, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) are sharp and springy. Overall spacing and character widths vary noticeably, enhancing the drawn-by-hand texture while keeping an upright, legible structure.
Best suited to short display settings where its tall, condensed rhythm and high contrast can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book covers, and playful packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or branding accents when you want a handmade voice without connected script.
The font reads as energetic and mischievous, balancing elegance from its high-contrast strokes with a casual, sketchbook spontaneity. Its narrow, tall silhouettes and flicked terminals add a theatrical, slightly oddball charm that feels at home in playful editorial and craft-oriented design.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush-pen lettering in a clean, unconnected print style, combining a refined thick–thin contrast with intentionally imperfect, humanized outlines. Its condensed proportions and animated terminals suggest a focus on attention-grabbing titles and expressive, characterful typography.
Uppercase forms tend to emphasize strong verticals (E, F, H, I, L) and slender bowls (B, D, P, R), while lowercase introduces more looping, calligraphic gestures in letters like g, j, y, and the numerals. The dot on i/j is small and round, and several characters show subtle baseline and stroke irregularities that reinforce the hand-rendered look.
