A narrow, hand-drawn print face with tall proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show noticeable tapering and brush-like modulation, with sharp terminals, occasional spurs, and slightly wobbly curves that keep the texture organic rather than geometric. Counters are generally open but irregular, and many letters combine straight, stemmy structure with subtly flared or hooked ends. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade cadence in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where its hand-rendered texture can be appreciated, such as headlines, book covers, posters, and themed packaging. It also works well for short quotes, labels, or event materials that benefit from a quirky, handcrafted voice; for long text, the narrow, irregular rhythm will be more decorative than purely utilitarian.
The overall tone feels whimsical and storybook-like, with a lightly medieval or folkloric flavor. Its narrow, wiry forms and pointed terminals add a touch of magic-shop eccentricity, while the informal drawing keeps it friendly and approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to capture the character of quickly drawn, ink-and-pen lettering while staying legible in mixed-case. Its tapered strokes and pointed details suggest a deliberate aim toward a whimsical, slightly old-world atmosphere for expressive display typography.
Uppercase forms read as tall and display-leaning, while the lowercase maintains a compact, note-like simplicity; together they create a charming mixed-case texture. Numerals follow the same tapered, hand-rendered logic, with curved forms that look drawn in a single, confident stroke.
