A hand-drawn, high-contrast print face with tall, narrow proportions and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes swing between hairline thins and bulbous, teardrop-like heavies, often terminating in soft flares rather than crisp serifs. Curves are slightly irregular and organic, with a gentle wobble that keeps forms from feeling geometric; counters tend to be compact and somewhat variable. Uppercase letters read tall and elegant with occasional calligraphic swells, while lowercase forms are compact and noticeably smaller, reinforcing a short x-height and a mixed, handmade texture across words.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where its contrast and hand-drawn quirks can be appreciated—such as posters, book covers, event invitations, packaging, and playful branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section titles in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer text companion.
The overall tone feels playful and storybook-like, with a friendly, slightly eccentric personality. Its ink-and-pen contrast and bouncy proportions suggest informality and warmth rather than precision, making text feel personable and crafted.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of informal, pen-drawn lettering in a consistent font, emphasizing expressive contrast and a lively baseline rhythm. Its narrow, tall silhouettes and distinctive stroke endings aim to deliver a decorative voice for display typography rather than a purely utilitarian reading face.
A few letters lean into distinctive, illustrative shapes (notably the loopier lowercase and the curvier uppercase), creating a varied color on the line that reads more like display lettering than neutral text. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with some figures using dramatic thick strokes paired with delicate hairline joins.
