A tall, spidery handwritten script with long ascenders and descenders, tight counters, and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes look pen-drawn with subtle swelling and tapering, plus occasional hooks, loops, and small terminal curls that give letters a slightly calligraphic feel. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, and many lowercase forms are simple, narrow, and lightly connected in running text, while capitals are more decorative and height-forward.
Best suited to short, display-oriented settings where its tall proportions and decorative capitals can shine—titles, posters, packaging, and characterful branding. It can also work for pull quotes or brief passages, though the delicate strokes and compact lowercase benefit from generous size and leading.
The overall tone is quirky and storybook-like, combining a delicate, slightly eerie thinness with playful flourishes. It feels personal and improvised, like quick handwriting dressed up for headings and quotes, with just enough ornament to read as expressive rather than formal.
The design appears intended to capture a quick, pen-written voice with a slightly theatrical flourish: narrow, tall letterforms, lively irregularity, and decorative capitals that add personality without turning into full-on formal calligraphy.
Capitals tend to be more stylized than the lowercase, with taller profiles and occasional interior loops. Numerals are similarly narrow and hand-drawn, with distinctive, idiosyncratic shapes that match the letterforms’ irregular charm.
