A tall, condensed handwritten print with a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes are mostly slim with noticeable contrast between thin hairlines and occasional heavier downstrokes, and terminals often taper or flick as if drawn with a pen. Counters are compact and rounded, curves are slightly wobbly, and joins stay unconnected, keeping the texture airy. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with narrow capitals and a bouncy baseline feel in mixed text.
Best used at display sizes where its thin strokes and idiosyncratic shapes can be appreciated—headlines, short blurbs, packaging callouts, posters, and cover typography. It can also work for playful editorial pull quotes or branding accents, but its narrow proportions and high-contrast strokes suggest avoiding long body copy at small sizes.
The font reads friendly and eccentric, with a light theatrical flair that feels hand-lettered rather than engineered. Its spindly elegance and small quirks give it a charming, slightly offbeat personality suitable for informal, expressive messaging.
The design appears intended to capture quick, pen-drawn lettering in a refined, condensed silhouette—combining a handwritten spontaneity with enough consistency to function as a cohesive display face. It emphasizes personality and verticality over neutrality, aiming for an expressive, memorable texture in short text.
Uppercase forms are especially narrow and vertical, while lowercase adds more character through asymmetrical bowls and occasional looped descenders (notably in letters like g, j, and y). Numerals share the same tall, drawn quality, with simple shapes and occasional hook-like terminals that reinforce the handmade tone.
